The 2019 FMC, which comes from pure Chenin Blanc bush vines planted in 1974, has a subtle, precise bouquet of white flowers, peach skin, kumquat and light apricot scents, very pretty and charming. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. This builds in the mouth, fanning out wonderfully on the finish without losing an ounce of precision. Superb.

Really enjoying the aging FMC at 6yrs still improving and getting better Golden liquid with honey mead and infused citrus flavours with a long satisfying aftertaste, yum 13% Abv. Have a number tucked away and looking forward to trying again in a couple of years.

Powerful nose and palate of ripe yellow apples, lanolin, chamomile, ripe pear, guava, nutmeg and vanilla. Long, long finish. Beautiful!
