Tasting Notes
"Truly remarkable value for the money" - Ian S, May 2023 Forget Cloudy Bay, forget Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre, this Horgelus Sauvignon/Gros Manseng blend costs almost half the price and delivers as much if not more. The 2022 is a bottle filled to the brim with joyfulness and verve. The citrus aromas are so captivating, with hints of fresh grass and nettles alongside a stream, and the palate is so sprightly, but also complete. The Sauvignon Blanc element brings a classic nettle and elderflower zip, while the Gros Manseng gives a gorgeous tropical fruit depth. Endlessly quaffable. Drink from: the moment it's in your possession. Drink until: the bottle is empty.
