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 colour in the glass, reserved, tropical, gooseberry, luminous, peach, apricot, stone fruit, mouthwatering, chalky. Nose: Medium intensity on the nose. Aroma characteristics: quiet, evolve with more tropical aromas like pineapple, gooseberry, green mango, lemon thyme, lime zest. Palate: The wine is dry with a bracing and somewhat angular acidity. Medium alcohol and medium minus body, its youthful acidity resulting in a leaner, more austere style. Time will chisel the wine into shape, following in the footsteps of its predecessors. Flavour characteristics of gooseberry, green fig, and stone fruit carry through, medium-plus finish. Conclusion: Tightly corseted in its youth, the 2020 Morningstar Semillon will develop a magnitude of character. The wine slowly reveals vivid gooseberry and green apple aroma, hemmed with fresh thyme, adding a cooler note. Confidently made, the wine's authoritative and clean-cut acidity forms its backbone, adorned with handsome stone fruit on the palate. Albeit seemingly lighter in style, the wine is playful yet oozing concentration on the midpalate with a lingering, briny finish.
