So end of school holidays means back to work!
This week the samples were the offerings from Longview and gartleman. I was super excited about the gartleman after seeing their semillon perform so well with only just a few years of age on them. This 2016 is super young, light low flavours of soft green fruits, probably not as good as previous vintages right now, but for $20 it’s worth putting a few away.
Happy to admit when I’m mistaken, and I was on the Longview wines by serving the Pinot Grigio before the sauv Blanc. Going back n trying it again it was a pretty good wine, dry lychee and a touch of lychee skin, green woody pear, with a long dry grassy finish. Pretty good wine this rrp$21. The sauv Blanc was a lot better than the syrupy kiwi sb’s we see, lots of soft fruit in this, dry finish from the acid, not a bad wine but probably not one that I would go for, but I can see where it has it’s place. More salary style than fish n seafoods.
