    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 La Tour Blanche sprints out of the block with hints of yellow plum, lanolin and stem ginger, though it all feels nicely controlled. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity that cuts through the thickly textured botrytised fruit. Marmalade and orange rind interlace the finish. It's very fine, reassuringly bold and expressive.

    The 2022 La Tour Blanche is a blend of 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle, with 145 g/L residual sugar. Pale to medium straw in color, it prances out with energetic notes of lime leaves, green mango, and lemon tart, leading to touches of salted almonds, cedar, and freshly shaved ginger. The palate is very youthful and pure, with vivacious citrusy layers and balancing freshness, finishing decadently spicy.
