Clos de Nouys Vouvray 2012

From - Vouvray, France

Alcohol - 11.5%
Available from - bottlebank.co.uk
Price - £13.60

Appearance - Clear; Lemon-green, medium- intensity.

Balance - 4  Length - 6  Intensity - 6  Complexity - 5

Nice,easy drinking, with a noticeable amount of residual sugar that adds body, more than balanced out by a generous amount of acid.  A great match for many foods, particularly if they are acidic (eg tomatoes, vinegar), or a little sweet, or a bit spicy.  I had it with my curry.  A nice bottle, although maybe not absolutely terrific value, in my opinion, unless you are looking for something decent quality that is a safe food match.
