WINE REVIEW
I had the pleasure of tasting all seven vintages of Litmus’s brilliant White Pinot Noir this month, and will soon be posting a full article in my English Vertical Series very soon. This is a delicious white wine made from red Pinot Noir grapes.
This current 2016 release was one of the highlights, with an opulent nose of peach, red apple and hints of vanilla cream and ice cream soda.
There’s a lovely richness and roundness to this Litmus. There’s a medley of peach, apricot and hints of cranberry, but it’s the butterscotch and caramelised peach, seasoned with a bit of spiced oak on the finish, that really stands out. Superb.
