R de Rieussec 2019

Extremely pale white/yellow colour in the glass with an expressive nose of fresh and lively white fruits - peach and apricot as well as tropical fruits with a hint of sweetness. Nice body and weight in the mouth - precision and clarity on show with passion fruit and zesty lemon edges. Well packaged - this feels confident with the flavours pushed along from start to finish while the high acidity balances the weight, texture and nuances of the tropical fruit flavours. Such persistency.

The 2019 R de Rieussec is another hit, following from the success of the 2017 that we enjoyed so much here at Farr. Bright lemon in colour with a snappy, intense nose of lemon, mandarin and just a hint of spice. The palate leads with a vibrant attack, all citrus fruit and tangy acidity. Lipsmacking and moreish, there is a juicy immediacy to this wine that makes it a pleasure to drink now. Lightly creamy through the mid palate, it takes on weight with peach and guava tones, yet is never heavy. This is a wine founded on its layers of yellow and orange fruits, accented with subtle spices and herbs. A pleasure to drink - enjoy it now or over the coming 3-5 years. Very good value for money.
