(2024) Made from Cabernet Blanc, a new drought and mildew resistant grape that's a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and unspecified resistant partner varieties. It is creamy, ripe and really rather nice. It opens with a hint of green fig, but mostly ripe, tropical fruit hinting at banana and ripe Ogen melon. The palate is fruit filled and juicy, with excellent citrus acidity balancing the finish.
(2024) This Vin de France wine comes from vineyards on red clay soils, is certified organic, and made with minimal sulphur. Trendily capped with a wax seal over the DIAM cork, it is fresh with bright apple and lemon and a hint of stomething stony - almost Chablis-like. In the mouth there is ripeness to the fruit, but the featherweight 11% alcohol and crisp acid structure gives it a light and flowing, seafood-friendly style.
(2023) Rather in the style of lower alcohol Sauvignons that have been flooding out of New Zealand in recent years, this wine has a lowly 9.5% abv. It is a Vin de France, so a cross-regional blend. It has a fruit-basket brightness aromatically, with lots of tropical fruit and peach-down softenss. Easy-going and well-balanced, the palate delivers more of the same with enough acidity to finish dry and fresh. The lower alcohol does water down the flavour somewhat, but if looking for less alcohol it does the job well. £9.49 as part of a mixed dozen
(2022) From vineyards in conversion to organic farming, this is Roussanne, aged six months in 500-litre barrels. With 14% alcohol it is a big wine, aromas have a delicacy, with some floral top notes to stone fruits. In the mouth there's loads of sweet, juicy mango and pineapple sweetness, an orangey blast of fruit and acid too. Yes, the alcohol adds a little heat to the finish, but the acid balance scythes through the ripeness and concentration.
(2016) One third from Burgundy, two thirds from Luberon and Ventoux. Nutty and creamy, a touch of exotic ripeness. Fine, sweet palate, plenty of sun-kissed ripeness and sweetness, but a nice bit of tight northern freshness and acid structure. Very drinkable and versatile.
