(2013) The latest in the Liberator series made by British MW Richard Kelly in conjunction with top but unnamed winemakers is a blend of Chenin, Viognier, Chardonnay and Clairette. It's a big white with its 14.5% abv, and only 210 cases were made so don't hang around if you fancy it. There's a golden hue to this obviously aged wine and a delicious hint of gentle and controlled nutty oxidation on the nose. fresh, yeasty and bready, the dry nut husk appeal and an apple freshness combine to intrigue. On the palate it has huge power and sweetness (the alcohol no doubt helping) with spices and vanilla marrying to abundantly ripe and sweet fruit of Ogen melon, apple and ripe and juicy pear. Long and focused by its clean acidity, this is nutty, mineral yet honeyed stuff that is delicious and charming.
