See previous notes where I wrote about the blend of 35% Pinot Blanc and 65% Auxerrois. The medium bodied palate showing pear and quince with medium minus acid. Quite delicious and amazing value at only $24 AUD. Had my last bottle 41 weeks later on 8th November 2024 with similar unctuous luscious notes although this was starting to turn. A pale bronzey gold starting to oxidise and definitely time to drink.

Aromas of poached pears, verging on tropical fruits. The palate is luscious and delicious of medium plus intensity. A blend of Pinot Blanc (35%) and Auxerrois (65%). The latter originates from the Pinot Blanc (just like Chardonnay) but they are quite different. Auxerrois has less acidity, ripens to a higher alcohol level and is more aromatic than Pinot Blanc They complement each other well. This wine is a real crowd pleaser and excellent value. Finishes dry. Tasted again 55 weeks later on 12th November 2022 with similar notes. Poached pear notes on nose and palate. Wonderful QPR.

Ripe pear spiked with the slightest touch of almond and stone. The mouth feel is round with great depth with an flinty finish with just a wisp of smoke. Medium acidity.
