Iona's Elgin Wines Reevaluated
When Greg Sherwood MW managed to arrange to taste Iona's new single vineyard wines in London earlier this year with Andrew Gunn, he jumped at the chance. As a London based South African Master of Wine, he had been following Iona's cool climate wines with interest. The wines he was givien the opportunity to taste were fermented specifically to show off the micro climates and soils unique to the cool Elgin region.
But then when Andrew had a terrible accident and couldn't travel to London, Rosie, his wife, and the Iona marketing manager, Brad Gold, took his place. Altogether they tasted through the Iona Monopole range of Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blanc as well as the Solace Syrah. Greg rated the wines and provided some succicinct tasting notes that make us want to taste the wines for ourselves because they sound delicious!
