Here’s what Dave Brookes from the Halliday Companion tasting team thinks of the 2023 Tupelo:
'I dig these Alsatian-style 'gestalt' blends. All varieties involved reporting for duty and getting on admirably for our drinking pleasure. This year's makeup is 41/28/26/5% pinot gris/pinot blanc/riesling/gewürztraminer. It's all slinky and textural (hello eight hours of skin contact) and the shimmering acidity draws everything into line nicely. Think citrus, yellow plum, white flowers, soft spice and crushed stone and you're on the track. Just a joy to drink.
