A 750ml corked and capped bottle, bottled in August 2020, with a best before date of August 2030. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a big three finger white head that had good retention and eventually settled to a fluffy cap, while leaving some nice lacing.

Aroma: Grapes, peat, leather, with oak and lemon zest creeping through.

Taste: Light sour, tart, super lemon candies, grape, oak, peat, with light mineral notes.

Mouthfeel: Dry, medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.

Overall: I think you have to like peat to enjoy this, and luckily I do. It’s really well balanced as the peat is obviously there, but it doesn’t overpower everything else. The champagne like effervescent carbonation was also enjoyable, while the 9% abv was well hidden.
