As a big fan of Tobys reds, I expected something wilder than this ...
Interesting wine. I was expecting a sparkling wine, because it has a bottle cap in stead of a cork, but it's not - although it is a bit fizzy. A bit closed at first, took a while to open up, but when it did it became very generous very quickly. Quince, plum, pear, lovely nose. 10 days of skin maceration gave this chenin blanc ample opportunity to transfer all of its goodness to the juice. Nice structure, lovely acidity, great depth. The longer it sits in my glass the better it gets. I wonder what will happen to it when I keep it for a day or two but it's too late: we've already finished it :-) Thanks Julie and Toby, well done!
