Sugrue The Trouble With Dreams 2018

Another exquisite release from Dermot. Crafted from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from an almost perfect vintage, this 2018 release shows golden amber in colour with a clean nose of florals, stewed apple, flint, oyster shells and subtle shortbread notes. Fresh on the palate combining orchard and stone fruits with savoury biscuit, toasted pastry and oatmeal tones on the finish. Simply stunning and one of England's very best!

Bottled in 2019 with 3.5 years on the lees; first batch disgorged in January 2023

“So creamy, on both the nose and palate, like a bowl of roasted oatmeal stirred with thick cream and golden baked apples. Broad brush strokes of flavour lying against long, crisply defined, arrow-sharp acidity. Almost like cool melted butter with finely zested lemon peel and something a little herbal … summer savory. Fine, complex wine.” - Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com
