But for some, introductions aren't easy and that's okay. So get a bottle of this instead! It's certainly cool, hip and funky.
A new label released by Yelland & Papps which is seriously worth looking out for. The label itself I thought was on the mark too. Simple and clean. Nice!
The wine spent eight months cooling its heels in predominately old American oak (83%) with the remainder in new French.
I had it in the decanter for an hour before indulging the senses. Wow and then some! An unmistakable funky pepperyness and delightful raspberry aromas greeted me. It's earthy and textural and very, very sippable. So much so I couldn't stop topping up the glass. The finish is herby and rustic and long. Lick those lips!
Only 1530 bottles made.
Ask for it. 'nuff said!
