The Garden Party 2015
Tom Kirley

1. Castello Colle Massari, Melacce, Montecucco, 2013
Vermentino; voino biologica. Fruity, not too acidic, slightly sweet and with a hint of fizz. Beginning to get a caramel taste. Long finish. Enjoyable but better with food, I think.  (13%)
Whelehan Wines €17.95 

2. Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin, La Grange, Vielle Vignes, Muscadet de Sevre et maine Tire sur Lie, 2013
Lovely, crisp, fruity, mineral wine with pear and apples. Slightly salty! (12%)
Whelehan Wines €15.95

3. Casal de Arman 'Eira dos Mouros', Ribeiro, Spain, 2011

Served blind. Well-rounded, exotic fruits, decent acidity. Treixadura grape. Now this is more like it - very nice!  (13%)
