Août 2018

There can be no more fruit in a white blend than what bursts from this sauvignon blanc-chardonnay scene. Just released in South Africa and carried by Anthony and Olive (Hamilton Russell) on the plane. Chavignol is the reference point, with lightly structured sandstone soils bringing lightness, airiness and delicate fruit. Or think Jim Clendenen's Au Bon Climat out of Santa Barbara. It’s democratically priced (a Hamilton Russell first) without gratuitous sugar and still dry, tart and direct.

Dr. Owen Bargreen, (Millésime 2018)

The 2018 Ashbourne white is composed of Sauvignon Blanc (80%) and Chardonnay (20%). It opens with aromas of white peach and gooseberry on the nose with some salted almond tones that round out the aromatics. The palate is highly refreshing as the wine unveils a notable richness and combination of citrus rind, tree fruit and with melon undertones that persist through the finish.
