Flint-Smoke


If you see one of these lurking on the shelves at around £20-25 snap it up! Excellent Chardonnay from Dog Point a refreshing change from the usual New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (although that can be good too!) It's full of apple and pear flavours, crisp and well balanced with a pronounced flint-smoke or "struck-match" vibe on the finish, this is an indication that the wine has had little or no exposure to oxygen throughout it's ageing process, which is usually a good thing! If I tasted this blind I'd have said this was an expensive Burgundy probably 2 or 3 times the price. Highly recommended!
