Isn’t it nice to spend time with an old friend and remember just why you liked them so much in the first place? ?I hadn’t had a glass of this lovely for a while and so I was very happy to open a bottle and slip back in. ?Yes, I remembered it’s lemony freshness – it’s why it’s an no-brainer go-to for mussels and chips down on the French Mediterranean and a great pairing with any seafood, from Cromer crab to Fish ‘n’ Chips (but make sure the chips aren’t soggy). ?There’s a bracing acidity to it that gives it an almost salad-like freshness. ?But what I’d forgotten was it’s smooth, creamy texture balancing all that fresh acidity.Sometimes the joy of an old friendship is in rediscovering why you were right in the first place. ?So if this isn’t an old friend already, hurry up. ?You’re losing time!
