Wine Review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
My Review: Yealands was an alright wine. I have a hard time getting into the dryer whites, but here again I feel like it could be an awesome wine with certain foods. It wasn't that it was out of balance, it just didn't have the flavor profile for me. I thought that it was too earthy not enough spunk in it. Still, I'm sure it could have it's strengths come through with the right foods.
