I'm finding this wine hard to pin down. Last night, after a few sips, I found it too austere for casual imbibing and gave up. Today in a less sleepy frame of mind and willing to turn my attention to the liquid in my glass I'm seeing the Stratford in a new light.
Lovely greeny straw colour with an aroma of lavender talc and lemons. If this wine isn't bone dry then it's close to and the chalky texture and zippy acidity certainly make it seem so. The palate is very puckering Granny Smith and lemony iced tea with a floral note bearing out the nose. Intriguing and sophisticated.
