FFW 2021 Wine Catalogue

LOIRE

sevenmonths on the lees and ages wonderfully in the bottle. 2018 is flourishing and almost showing a kerosene style seen in aged Riesling. A beautiful wine. Over in the upper Loire, we have long worked with André Dezat , one of the region’s most respected Domaines. Simon and Louis Dezat represent the fourth generationmaking wine at the Domaine, and the quality has never been better. I feel I must finish this ode to the Loire valley with a note on pricing. Right across the region, there is value to be found for what I firmly believe are very serious fine wines. I urge Farthinghoe customers to dip their toe into the wonders of the region!
