A bright, fruit-forward wine with notes of peach, melon and citrus peel.

Description

Description:

Penn Oast Hare’s Harvest is a blend of Bacchus, Ortega & Chardonnay grown exclusively in our vineyard alongside Manor Lane, Hollingbourne. The blend was carefully chosen to produce an easy drinking dry white wine that is great with food. Bacchus & Ortega are often used as a blend together but our addition of a little Chardonnay lifts this pairing to a new level that must be tried.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Pale lemon green
Nose: Apricot, white peach, rock melon, greengage plum
Palate: Balanced acidity, citrus peel, thyme

What the Judges said:

Lovely nose. Fragrant with floral and citrus skin nuance. Palate is nicely balanced, green fruit with  floral character.
 
Well made, and enjoyable, with varietal character.  
 
Nice subtle grip, some lime and vibrancy, some subtle floral character. Easy, but fresh. 
 
Interesting blend with some complexity and texture – touch sharp
 
Orange juicy and fresh, citrus oil and pith, slightly bitter grapefruit finish, but I like it.
