Wines offering layers of interest and complexity like this Glen Garvald PB White Blend No. 1 are ideal long lunch partners. Lending themselves to a diverse range of food matches, the depth on offer ensures there is plenty to consider and embrace.
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Marsanne, the Glen Garvald range from Levantine Hill explores various varieties planted to cope with climate change.
Honey puffs, honey biscuits, apricot kernel, peach skin and yellow fleshed stonefruit build detail and curiosity. Smoked tea leaves, ginger spices, brioche, creme brulee, hazelnuts and cashews emerge with more time in the glass. The flicker of mandarin peel rises up late, and as with many wines such as this, be sure not to serve it too cold to ensure that you extract the most from every drop. A touch of lemon juice and lemon zest on close offers a delightful parting gift before fine Mediterranean tonic and green tea like tannins seal the deal. Yep, long lunches and this will be best friends.
Drink to three years.
