A whisper of sweetness, a streak of minerality.
Domaine du Clos Naudin is one of the best-known names in Vouvray. This demi-sec has a touch of sweetness wrapped around laser-sharp acidity. Complex, floral and layered, and a 2015, so it has some bottle age.
Tastes like: Quince, green apple and ginger, with lanolin and white pepper.
Feels like: Medium-bodied and off-dry, with bright freshness and no oak.
Great with: Goat cheese salad, roast pork, foie gras.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Spicy Thai food, laksa, chilli crab.
The geeky bit: Chenin Blanc from old vines on limestone and clay, farmed with organic methods. Fermented with native yeasts.
Why we like it: One of the most versatile food wines there is, especially with a bit of chilli on the table.
Serve: 10 to 12°C. Straight from the fridge is a touch too cold; give it a few minutes in the glass.
Alcohol: 13%
