Dillions Bacchus 2020

Greyfriars NOOR 2020
Green apple, citrus, white peach, and a flinty minerality with a light textured nuttiness.

3Kicked off our Christmas meal with a modern take on prawn cocktail with pickled fennel salad, and some salmon terrine (thanks to @waitrose) and multi grain bread. Paired with the incredibly food and Christmas friendly @ArteliumWine Makers Rosé.
