Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

A lovely purity of pear fruit on the nose. Aromas are uncluttered and quite simple at the moment. I found a hint of angelica and toast later. Palate is really dense and quickly firm, with freshness at the core. There’s a note of something herbal to the wealth of pear fruit. A firm through-put. Confident and elegant white burgundy. Very nice sustain. Unshowy and very direct. A sort of lean power about it. Bowes Wine original note

“This conveys a nascent authority that stands it in good stead for the future. Excellent.” Neal Martin

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
