Why oh why do they bother.....rich, astringent and so hard work as to be almost unpleasant.

Made by Ben Glover of Wither Hills fame.....surely the worst winemaker in all of New Zealand. Almost every sb he makes is heavy going.

Co-Op have a Pouilly Fume for £7.99. Do not buy it. The aim to sell affordable wines from expensive regions like the Loire and Marlborough is admirable but what is the bloody point if the wines are such poor examples of their type.
