Bimbadgen MCA Series Fume Blanc 2014

Bimbadgen MCA Series Fume Blanc 2014 (Orange, NSW)
12.3%, Screwcap 

Great label on this – the artwork is Grant Stevens’ In The Beyond.

As for the wine – well its Orange fume. Half spends five months in new and used barriques.

The problem is just how sharp edged this. Pointy and clean, there’s some herbal Sauv on the nose over a very dry, very sour palate. Oak can’t tame that blistering acidity.

Ouch.
