(2023) As always, Seven Springs' Unoaked Chardonnay is crisp and fresh, yet has some creaminess and weight too. Lemony but gentle fruit fills the mouth, a hint at a more ripe passion fruit and nectarine, with a touch of oatmeal and nuttiness adding that breadth to the palate. The finish is balanced and quite long, with plenty of juicy fruit and acid in combination.
(2021) Seven Springs rosé is 100% Syrah, and opens with strawberries and cream in abundance, a light herbal note and some floral, violet nuances. In the mouth there is more cream, both flavour and texture, with a light smokiness and plenty of pulp red fruit charm. A lovely sun-kissed rosé.
(2021) I've been following the fortunes of English-owned Seven Springs Vineyards for a decade now and their Sauvignon always impresses for its fruit-forward and balanced style, that avoids too much herbaceousness. this has aromas of very juicy peach and sweet orange, a hintnof tropicality, then a free-flowing and juicy palate, lots of nectarine ripeness, a nicely judged herbal streak to the citrus acidity, into a fine, dry and moreish finish.
