Claymore, ‘Skinny Love’ Viognier, 2018
We’ve seen a trend of drinkers looking for low alcohol wines. New World wines tend to be more alcoholic because of the warmer temperatures but Claymore have picked their Viognier grapes early (hence the name on the label First Crush) which means not all the natural grape sugar has fermented into alcohol retaining some natural sweetness. The result: a naturally low alcohol wine through natural wine-making processes.
The Name
Even though we would like to tell you this is low calorie wine the name actually refers to the song Skinny Love by Bon Iver.
Appearance
White straw
Nose
An early harvest wine that shows pretty floral notes of Jasmin and white peach.
Palate
Minimal intervention with this wine ensures that the mouthfeel of this wine is soft, balanced, integrated and appealing. Stone fruit and honeydew melon on the finish are complemented by natural acid and retained natural sugars. An extremely pretty, delicate and approachable wine. Hints of apricot flesh on the finish indicate the variety used for this wine.
Suitable for vegans!
£10.95 £9.95
