(2024) You know, I really, really enjoyed this pristine, energisng white from the humble Solaris (a hybrid whose parents are Merzling and the romantically named Gm 6493 from Germany). Last time I tasted one was from Denmark, the variety well suited to cool conditions. Here Norfolk, it was fermented in stainless steel to produce a dazzling, sharply focused wine that' all about zing and zest, citrus and crunchy apple, hints of gooseberry and grapefruit, and a long, running mountain stream freshness.
(2024) Schonburger or Schöenburger is a cross-bred variety of German origin, one parent being Pinot Noir though there is Muscat in the lineage too, which gives this a distinct floral and musk character. Some skin contact was used, the wine fermented in stainless steel. On the palate it has a sweetness, but a grip and grapefruity decisiveness to the acidity, perhaps the skin contact adding a bit of lemon rind character. Another really flavourful wine from Burn Valley.
(2024) Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this is a pale and featherweight Bacchus with only 10.5% abv. Aromas are distinctly floral, with a little elderflower, Sauvignon-like edge. On the palate this is cool and clear, lightweight in terms of flavours too. There's a faintly herbal, even medicinal note, and this doesn't quite have the appeal of Burn Valley's other cuvées for me.
