Sipping Fine Wine

A top 2020 wine on Spectators list, tried twice. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb floral notes. On the palate flavors of zesty sour green apple fruit flavors and some grassy tones, lively acidity. The wine finished with earthy herbal, grassy and mineral notes.

Medium-bodied with zesty acidity and loads of passion fruit, gooseberry, and subtle capsicum notes. Great value.

Aromatic grapefruit, gooseberry, tangerine and capsicum notes. Slightly grassy with a short finish. Great value for the money.

Hay and grapefruit in a zingy package. But you knew that already.

Excellent Kiwi SB with a fuller body. I accidentally left a glass for about an hour at room temperature, and it surprised me with hint of vanilla and ever so slightly nutty note. Did it use oak? I looked it up and indeed 6% was fermented in oak barrel.
