Dobbes Family Estate 2011 Grenache Blanc

I never knew grenache blanc could taste this good. There's abundant mineral, apple flesh, peach, apricot, white blossom and spice on the nose, with consistent flavours of generous fruit, crisp acidity that's leaning to tartness and a long, delicious finish. Drink now or soon.
