Until DNA showed us differently, we thought the French grape savagnin was the sexy Spanish albarino. While the latter might have been easier to sell, especially given the quiet popularity on restaurant lists of albarino from Gallica in north-western Spain, savagnin makes excellent, easy-drinking wines like this. This Gemtree white has an alluring, almost ethereal floral bouquet and vibrant fruity flavours that are dry, tangy and zesty.
The Other White Varietials chapter in Quaff is a ripper with lots of fascinating and delicious wines recommended. The Gemtree is one of those ranked in the Quaff 2011's Top 20 wines of the year.
