Description
There is very little Aligote growing in Australia at present. Trust Barney Flanders to sniff some out.
Given Barney's love of Burgundian varieties, this grape slips nicely into the Garagiste line up.
It's a very impressive rendition of the variety - where Aligote is often maligned in Burgundy and considered a bridesmaid to Chardonnay, Barney treats it with the utmost respect.
There's a distinct 'old world' vibe with this wine. Yes, it's fresh and focused and drives brilliantly through the mouth (as all Garagiste wines do), but there's something else here that takes you to another place from your first sniff.
"Made using grapes sourced from Australia’s oldest aligoté vineyard, fermented and matured in a single 500-litre barrel. Layered and savoury, it has a similar spectrum of yellow fruit and floral lift found in the Burgundian aligotés, but a grilled-nut complexity too that builds and builds on the tongue."
