Llaethliw Solaris (2018)

New

With it's clear pale yellow colour, this wine looks like summer in a glass. On the nose it has fresh green apple aromas coupled with scents of gooseberry, stone fruits and meadow grass. This is followed up on the palate with refreshing flavours of crisp green apple and ripe nectarine. The wine has a nice mineral aspect that is pursued by a generous citrus acidity.

    Knockout!

    Bought this at random while visiting Mumbles. My first venture into Welsh wine. To say I enjoyed it yesterday is an understatement. The grape variety has clear notes of German origin and is sophisticated and full. Distinguished and elegant in fact. Buy this is you like to savour a silky white wine. If you merely quaff adult lemonade, don't insult it.
