Gitton Père & Fils Nebula 2016

If I had tasted this blind, I might not have known it was Sauvignon Blanc. The nose came across as quite sweet, and the acidity dropped away towards the end.

In the glass

On the nose the sweetness seemed fairly high. It felt like a light white Bordeaux, with white pepper. In the later part the acidity dropped away, and it took on something of a Gewürztraminer. By the end it was said to have turned as gentle as a lamb.
