Mellish Bakenkop Blanc Fume (1)

Andrew Mellish is the farmer/wine-maker behind the Mellish wines. He’s converted to organic practices and takes a low-additive approach in the cellar. Mellish Bakenkop Blanc Fume shows pronounced aromatics of blackcurrant, granadilla and grapefruit. On the palate the wine has texture and grip with a driving line of refreshing lemon-like acidity. There are layers of complexity with subtle notes of nettle, cream, smoke and baking spice complimenting the fruit. The finish is long and dry with a saline, mineral quality.
