From the heart of Canterbury in New Zealand’s South Island comes this Alsatian style Pinot Gris
a little spicy and with impressive intensity for a wine that at first seemed so delicate
elegant and more subtle than previous years becoming deeper and more nuanced with time in the glass
the layer of yeast/flor inside these butts (much weakened by the age and lack of nutrients of the wine) is significantly smaller and thinner and can be kept alive on the sole basis of scarce periodic refreshments—acting as barely sufficient barrier between the wine and the intensely oxidizing effect of air
Anselmo Mendes Muros Antigos, Alvarinho, Vinho Verde, 2024 low sulphur Although enjoyable in youth thisAnselmo Mendes is known as 'Mr Alvarinho' and when tasting this wine, it's obvious why. A wonderfully aromatic, delicious meld of zippy citrus and peach. Delicate and precise with a really attractive textural element. Really serious winemaking for the price maybe the best Alvarinho we have tasted at this level.
