Bizoe Wines
Winemaking is a true reflection of place and the person guiding the grapes into becoming wine. With Bizoe, nothing is orchestrated or contrived to serve current trends or jump on the bandwagon of popular styles. Instead, honesty and sincerity lie at the heart of these wines and the team’s aspiration to make the best wine they can. Provenance is treasured from sustainable farming practices, anticipating the flavours in what you taste in the vineyards, and translating a unique vintage into the character the wine itself decided to be.
Description
Appearance: Pale lemon. Nose: Medium intensity. Aroma characteristics: Primary: grassy, hay, canola field, abundant fruit yet shy to open up. Almost a more Sauvignon Blanc character with aromas of tinned peas, asparagus, snap peas, mint, lime fennel, dill, herb garden, sweet basil, some blossom and floral notes. Palate: The wine is dry with a vibrant lemon-toned acidity. The wine has a medium alcohol, medium acidity and a medium body. Flavour characteristics of tart lemon and wildflowers persist with a herbal and slightly volatile character. Medium finish. Conclusion and tasting assessment: Blending fruit from Darling and Franschhoek, there is undoubtedly a quirkiness about this wine. Fairly balanced, the acidity somewhat arrests the palate, quenching the fruit to display a melange of herbs and elderflower rather than fruit on both the nose and palate. That being said, the tangy intensity and austerity of the wine propose a style suited for savoury dishes that will lift the fruit for a sweeter display of aromatics.
