Sauvignon Blanc Best End, Churton 2023

Served blind and had such a combination of marked acidity and mid-palate fruit that I thought it might have been a Chenin Blanc. But I also wrote 'gooseberry' in my tasting notes which should have given the game away. Very, very un-Marlborough-like with its bone-dry finish and real interest and structure. Still youthful.

Our Best End Sauvignon Blanc 2023 has lifted aromatics of lemon zest, fennel flowers and lemon balm underlined by a savoury ground stone character. On the palate, the wine is dry and linear with creamy fresh stone fruit, white nectarine and lemon oil. A fine line of silvery acidity runs through the long finish.
