Description
Sharpham Estate Selection is a pure expression of Madeleine Angevine. The character of this unsung grape variety is definitely singing in this wine.
This zesty white is vibrant on the nose, you can expect lime and gooseberry with a hint of smoke. Juicy pear on the palette is matched by linear acidity and minerality. Think cool climate Riesling characteristics.
Sharpham released their first Madeleine Angevine in the 1980’s and it’s been their best seller ever since.
Pair with Thai noodles or Cornish Crab. A big dose of Sunshine would work too.
