JC's Own Freestyler 2021

Please note: this bottle does not fit inside our single and double wooden gift boxes.

Stuart McCloskey "I am loving the bouquet – pineapple, quince paste, apricot, lemon zest, liquid honey, heady scents of jasmine, fresh toast, nuts and saline. The wine has certainly developed since first sampling. The textural generosity is pitch perfect. Seriously flavoursome and mouth filling – incredible length. I never tire of the wine’s character and overall interest. Every release is a joy. This shows shades of Jura but less pronounced – oxidative character (on the nose too) along with fascinating complexity. Honeyed, orchard fruits, toast and a Fino-like nutty / savouriness or Sake? Puckeringly delicious. Today, this wine is in a great place, but will age for a further 3-5 years. Decanting isn’t necessary – choose a large-bowled glass. I opted for Zalto Burgundy…" 

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front "Chenin Blanc, crouchen, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot gris; some skin fermentation, lees time, considered winemaking.

A beautiful, savoury-leaning, medium weight white wine of great charisma. Scents of candle wax, lemon balm, ripe apple and fudge. The palate is more lemony, creamy almost but for a cut of ultra fine tannin lending some chew and chalkiness. Flavours run long and the finish is this cavalcade of briny minerality, sweet spice and nutty savouriness. Wow. It’s just got so much going on. One for not drinking too cold. Super wine."
