Tasting Notes

The 2015 de Fieuzal Blanc has plenty of tropical fruit on the nose - pineapple, pink grapefruit and lime aromas that are designed to seduce. The palate has a little fatness on the entry, a little lower in acidity than its peers, with rounded peach and pineapple notes flourishing on the finish. A classy crowd-pleaser, in other words.

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (224), April 2016

Some spicy wood on offer with attractive, ripe tropical fruits delivered in a smoothly textured palate that has impressive length and focus. Good concentration. One of the best whites from here in a while. 55% sauvignon and 45% semillon. Drink or hold.

Rather dull nose - sweet and powdery. Simple fruit.

Relatively restrained on the nose. Quite woody/cedary on the palate but with a cool citrus flow across the palate. Fresh and balanced if not that intense. (JH) 13%

Grippy and quite powerful, this is a more structured wine with touches of mint and some muted tropical notes, too. It
will age well.

Powerful and dense white with so much fruit and structure. This is one of the best whites from here in a while. Looking forward to see its evolution. 55% sauvignon and 45% sémillon.
