With seductive charm, the bright elegance and opulent fruit of the Blue Belle is hard to resist. Usually the Belle is pure Chardonnay, but in 2020, head honcho Alex T was rather taken with the beauty of a parcel of Semillon. It's from one of their grower mates and the grapes had lovely ripeness, intensity and pure lemony zing. Harvested in cooler night time temperatures, the fruit was immediately pressed in the RedHeads cellar to capture maximum fruit and crispness. Fermentation in oak, some in new Hungarian barrels, has lent subtle hints of cinnamon, cloves and vanilla, while lees stirring adds lovely roundness – a perfect balance of fruit and complexity. This bluey beauty is a hit with chicken or salmon with spicy butterbean mash.
