Evans and Tate, whose wines I have kept way from because in
the past I remember headaches accompanying them, currently have a cheapie 2016
Two's Company of Sav Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. Though I think that a
sure-fire recipe for success is single vineyard, single variety (matched to
place) and wild ferment, nevertheless I do like Semillon Chardonnay (now truly
very difficult to get, even though it was supposedly an Oz wine staple) and this
E&T mix which is a good quaffer, much better than a Sav Blanc on its own
(unless, of course, it’s Shaw & Smith or Cloudy Bay or the pink Toi Toi
Marlbourough Hidden Treasure sauvignon (to which Pinot Noir is added)). (I do
also clearly like parentheses.) Though shouldn’t the E&T be called Ménage à Trois?
