2020 Breakfast wine OBC x LS Merchants
Breakfast Juice is a collab between @ls.merchants X @oldbridgecellars ๐๐ Sav B, Semillon, Pinot Gris and Grenache come together to form an unbeatable breakfast team. Think orange peel, guava, white stonefruit and mandarin peel with a juicy, textural mouthfeel.
โOn paper, this looks like a smash of variety and a big old circus of flavour and colour. In the glass itโs a super pretty apricot pink, with a nose that speaks as much of rose florals as it does plump citrus pith and tropical fruits. Guava is dropped in the tasting note, and itโs impossible not to see it here. Iโm also getting height-of-the-season mandarin, raspberry (from the grenache?) and an apple-y character that sits really well with the leesy creaminess. Thereโs actually a little hint of phenolic hardness on the palate which keeps things engaging and is a yin to the yang. Apart from the super interesting nose, soft mouthfeel, and abundantly generous fruit on the palate โ I love the acidโฆ it is taught and zingy and whips everything up into a tight little package. In a nutshell โ itโs a yes from me.โ - Erin Larkin, July โ20
