Tasting Notes

The 2016 Villa Bel Air Blanc features lime zest, yuzu and lemon curd notes with a waft of orange blossoms. Medium-bodied, crisp and zesty in the mouth, it delivers a lovely savoriness on the finish. 2018 - 2022

Slightly low acidity compared to most vintages, this is more mandarin and lemon rind than lime or fresh citrus. An attractive wine that will provide enjoyable early drinking.
Drinking Window 2023-2038

Light fresh and fragrant the nose has citrusy freshness the start of the palate bright with a lime and lemon mix. Ripe grapefruit in the middle more depth of fruit all balanced by mineral and citrus at the back the finish is light and crisp. 2018-22
