woody grip and chew

This tastes like ginger spice and toffee apple

Attractive earthy savoury notes come through and

and complementary live guitar music

A distinctly savoury and dry sparkling wine loaded with brioche

2023 Gruner Veltliner ‘Basket Press’ Magnum woody grip and chewFermented in stainless steel and French oak; the wine rested on lees for 15 months. A very squeaky, succulent white wine with distinct savoury and root vegetable elements, as is often the case with this variety. Preserved lemon, ginger, green almond, hay and oatmeal characters are the mainstays here. Excellent length of flavour, freshness and the savoury derived complexity elevates the wine. A stellar example. Tasting notes by Mike Bennie Halliday
