Casa Silva Late Harvest Semillon/Gewurztraminer 2014, Colchagua, Chile (£8.95 Barrels & Bottles, Frank Stainton Wines, Addisons, Inverarity/Morton, Michael Jobling Wines, The Cheese & Wine Co, Naked Grape, Island Wine Company, Charles Steevenson Wines, Vesuvio, Lewis & Cooper, Palmers Wine Store, Xander Wines, Field & Fawcett, Portland Wine Company)
Combines the lychee and citrus of Gewurz, with the pithy structure from Semillon, I quite like those sweet juicy flavours and the edge of dried apricot, but there’s also a bitter phenolic edge that spoils the finish. C+
