Hewitson Madame M Blanc & Blanc 2021

This is fascinating stuff. A blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. It is at slightly lower alcohol (11%) than we usually see, and in a lighter bottle (something no one will suggest with their very top reds). Light yellow hue. There is a very muscaty nose, even touching on what one might expect from Gewürztraminer. Even though it is very much the minor partner in this blend, Muscat does dominate. Florals, musk, citrus and a gentle hint of Turkish Delight with a clean, minerally backing plus a dry finish. A wine of mid-length and delicious drinking now on a sunny afternoon.
