(1.5 litre pouch) If you're looking for something a bit different, try this biodynamic skin contact Trebbiano from Tuscany, which has a glorious colour akin to scrumpy cider. And the nose is also reminiscent of the west country, with autumnal apple scents. In the mouth it has a slightly chalky texture, where the six days spent on the skins has imparted a small amount of tannin (as well as the colour and some flavour). There is a baked apple and nut character to the wine, matched by a pure, fresh acidity. On the finish there is a hint of brioche. If you're a lover of natural wine (or indeed a refreshing glass of cider), give this a go, as it may be weird but is also wonderful. Drink with pork terrine and fresh bread in the sun.
