Hither & Yon - Petit Blanc 2022 (750ml) Coquimbo"Much drier, saltier and crunchy that the decent 2021, this feels a lot more Mediterranean in feel and style. Its a muscat blanc, made dry, of course, and picked earlier and made to dry. Planted 1980s. It shows the variety calling cards of frangipani and general perfume but with sea spray, alpine herb and tonic water scents. Flavours echo this, its tingly, mouth watering and super fresh with soaring drinkability. Citrusy fresh, briny, long and cool.
