Anatu The Fugue Coastal Region 2010 75 Points


Clear, bright, pale straw with yellow reflections, medium concentration, medium plus viscosity and no gas.

Clean, medium intensity with notes of yellow lemon, white pears, Washington apples, pithy lemon zest, camomille.

Stony mineral, some leesy / cheesy white rind note, very little oak, touch oxidative in style.

Dry with some residual sugar, low acidity, actually too low compare to the medium plus alcohol, new flavours of just ripe peaches, honey, creamy texture almost "fat" in structure, some kind of Rhone profilling yes, fine lenght, and fairly complex aftertaste.

Blend of 42% Roussanne, 31% Chenin Blanc and 27% Grenache Blanc.
Served at 13 degrees celsius with a grilled home made pork, onion and parsley sausage and black lentils.
