Delamere Blanc de Blancs 2016
$70.00
A complex, classy blanc de blancs now showing appealing toasty and buttery development. It’s scented with spicy aromas of apple pie, creamy nougat and white peach, with suggestions of apple blossom, lime and mineral. Round and creamy, with a delightfully fine bead, it’s mouthfilling and elegant, with a delightful core of fruit backed by suggestions of pastry and spice, driving long and smooth towards a long, savoury and refreshingly dry finish.

Delamere
Shane Holloway and Fran Austin are a young couple who have turned up in Northern Tasmania from the Adelaide Hills and Kalgoorlie (WA) respectively. Their combined experience and the track record they have already assembled at Delamere suggests that this will be a label worth watching, potential already realised from the 2012 vintage onwards. While the non-vintage sparkling wines are well worthy of attention, I have a very soft spot for the very stylish and savoury vintage Blanc de Blanc, even if the 2012 edition was perhaps a little heavily worked for its depth of fruit and forward nature.
