Little Brunswick Greco 2023 750ml
All seagulls, no chips is made from Greco grapes grown in the Heathcote G.I. down near the Tooboorac pub (great pies there). Greco is a grape grown mostly in the warm climate of Southern Italy which is similar in many ways to the warmer wine-growing regions of Australia, and it is arguably more suited to our climate than many other white grapes we have used traditionally. Murky peachy blush colour, with incredible aromatics; passionfruit, honeysuckle, jasmine, then something that reminds me of a fragrant top notch Sake - my brain sees it as a soft mauve colour, but I can't describe it. I don't know enough about Sake. Flavour-wise it's bold, punchy and complex; there's so much going on at once, it feels like chaos, but there isn't a hair out of place - the brakes on the party yanked on firmly and quickly by an assertive, firm, grippy finish. I love this stuff, it has the right ratio of spank then cuddle for me.
