Inviting and well formed to the extent that you'll probably be pulling multiple corks

Chenin Blanc from some enviably placed vines in Anjou with a couple of 'half decent' vignerons operating out of the neighbouring plots

with a fine bead of fizz that makes it almost impossible to put down

this wine transforms with time in the glass

a touch of leesy texture

Domaine Gross, 'Variation' 2022 USA Inviting and well formed toPlace: Alsace, France Grape: Sylvaner Vibe: Herbal Sylvaner sees 18 days of skin contact before an eight month sleep in amphora, giving it a lovely oily texture. Serious notes of preserved lemon, with some juicy apple coming through in the middle and distinct aromas of sage and thyme. Would be cracking alongside a roast chicken, if you're into those. ABV: 11%
