Savagnin 'Cri de Coeur' 2018, Crittenden Estate

A Vin-Jaune style, flor-aged wine from... Mornington Peninsula, Australia? Yes, that's what Crittenden Estate have brought to the party here, and wow, what a wine. With the salty, green apple flavours of acetaldahyde (the chemical that flor aging produces which gives the character of salted almond) but with texture and extraordinary length. This is more than just a gimmick, truly top stuff.
