Fontanavecchia

“Golden colour, but by no means tired. Abundant citrus fruit, faintly candied. Attractive notes of broom and yellow flowers. This feels sweeter than other vintages; it’s ripe with lots of tropical notes. There is plenty of complexity though. Sweet brioche notes. A viscous, polished feel. Some sense of oxidisation but still deliciously fresh.”

“Attractive golden colour, with an intense nose characterised by ripe peach and citrus rind. This is concentrated, with an oily texture. Acidity and alcohol have retreated into the background slightly and some faint, attractive notes of oxidisation creep through to deliver a succulent but mellow wine. An excellent accompaniment to blue sheep’s cheese or sweet pastries.”
