The Fledge & Co Vagabond White Blend 2021

It would take me most of the note just to list the ten varieties that make up the blend of Vagabond, so let’s say it’s Chenin Blanc based with a medley of French, Portuguese and Spanish grapes from 16 vineyards. Fresh, zippy and understated, it has negligible oak, pear, aniseed, lemon and lime flavours and a steely, low-alcohol finish. Drink date: 2023-2027. Score – 91.
