William Heritage, Reserve BDX Blanc, Outer Coastal Plain, New Jersey, USA 2022

An outstanding white blend from New Jersey's William Heritage made with whole cluster inclusion and aged in both Austrian and French oak barrels. The resulting wine is effusively aromatic, with notes of yellow flower pollen, beeswax and ripe-cut yellow apples. The palate is rich, with lanolin depth, and honeyed pear and apple cake are accented by ample barrel character. A rich texture comes through with almond cream flavours braced by nutmeg and biscuit and rich clover honey to finish.
