Wine: Chapel Down Pinot Reserve (Sparkling) (2002) - Chapel Down - Pinot Blanc
Reviewed: 13-Jun-2008

- Dryness: 2 - Dry
A light, dry, and very bubbly English sparkling wine. A pale yellow complexion with hints of lime, the bubbles overwhelm the taste to a significant degree.
A refreshing tangy dryness with little alcoholic bite.

Review of Steenberg Semillon

Reviewed: 16-May-2008
- Wine Rating: 85%
- Dryness: 4 - Light Dry
A light, but complex tasting smooth wine. The oaking really adds to the flavour in a subtle way, resulting in a wine that works well even at room temperature.

Reviewed: 24-Jan-2008

- Dryness: 4 - Light Dry
This is a remarkably light, fruity wine. Provides a spicy, almost tobacco, taste. A good wine without food, slightly too light for most dishes.
