Honey Badger Deborah Chenin Riesling 2017

Tasting Notes

Aromatic wine of chewy texture and brisk acidity. It's part lemon sherbet, part farmhouse cider, part juicy white. All the good bits of wild-edged winemaking, one could say. Good scents of lemon curd, dried flowers, bruised apple, egg shell, brown lime and faint clay. The palate is lively in jittery freshness with a sluice of lime-apple flavours rushing through. Chalkiness, a touch muddy but giving grip, comes mid mouthful and finishes the wine. Plenty to enjoy here, and quite a unique personality, is the message. Small wine bars ahoy! - Mike Bennie
