"A wine with a dry and tender nose offering delicious aromas of quince, candied lemon with floral notes and especially mineral (subtle taste of flint)." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"There are people in life who you hang out with and feel energised and then there are others who suck your spirit - like the Death Eaters à la Harry Potter. The 2019 Touche Mitaine is thankfully the former. It is a barrel-fermented Chenin from 35-year-old vines planted on clay-flint. It is taut and precise, the combination of acid backbone and phenolics combining along with a salty note to leave you feeling pleasantly invigorated. You can expect wild herbs, preserved lemons, apples and pastry on the fine finish, which give a sense of purpose and direction." —Vinous |
