Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

A beautiful thing in the glass, this, shining like a clear greenish-lemon crystal. And the nose is met by aromas of delightful density, including floral notes and fruit of green apple and pear. There's a hint of lime that makes one briefly think about Riesling and then the lime is met by gunflint. There's some powdered chalk, as well as dried flowers and ivy leaf. Once in the mouth, the wine's acidity comes across as medium-fresh and lime-y. Nice easy control on the palate; very long and devloping superb intensity. I find a powdery minerality. Superb GC Chablis. Bowes Wine original note

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

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.
