Sèvre-et-Maine, Pays Nantais, Loire Valley, France
Aromas of sherbet, honeysuckle and ripe apple. A low sulphur regime apparently. The palate is silky and viscous with low acid. This grape Melon de Bourgogne is well named as it does give melon like flavours. Old vines and time on lees seems to be the key to this delicious Loire White. Also excellent QPR at only $24.

Dec 28th, 2018Pale Gold. Not overly familiar with the Muscadets from the western Loire Valley but I was expecting something more lush and grapey with a little residual sweetness but this finishes dry. Some notes of peach but to sum up just an acceptable quaffer.

A light bodied muscadet with a very light, slight floral nose and citrus, minerals and saline palate. Not overly notable but easy dinking and paired well with a salmon, pesto capellini pasta dish.

Green apple, honeydew melon, lemon peel with faint wet stone. Medium bodied, the palate is layered with lip smacking acidity but maintains a ripe texture along with those expected notes of salinity.
