Gilbert Van Hassel

Special wine produced for the first time of 100 pct savagnin. Not an oxidized style but two years in barrel with constant topping up. The wine tastes like stone fruit - apricots and white peaches - with an undertone of hazelnuts with plenty of salt. Extremely rich but clearly outstanding. Only 60 cases made, will be interesting to see how it evolves over time.
