Illusions Pairing Bundle

Original price was: £35.99.Current price is: £30.99.

Illusions has been called “hypnotic” and “crystalline”. Past blurs into present, memory blurs into fantasy blurs into stream of consciousness. Illusions is about four stories, whirling within the corporate glass walls. 

As a dry white with a clean finish, the Funkstille fits the setting: twenty-three stories of shimmering glass. However, Illusions looks within the capitalist world and asks about the lives that work inside it. We think this pairs with the juicy white peach and apricot notes that provide the wine a gorgeous fruitiness. Modern acidity and juicy stone-fruit work together to produce a balanced, mouth-watering wine.

Illusions

Welcome to the Wellis Corporation. Twenty-three storeys of shimmering glass cubicles, rattling typewriters, spiralling corridors: a corporate kingdom with its own neon light. Across the glittering panes, the acrobatic window cleaner swoops and dives, or pauses, still as a gargoyle, seeing things that nobody else sees. Over one weekend, we follow four employees into their private worlds. An ageing secretary; a translator in a mid-life-crisis; a once-glamorous typist; and a lovelorn trainee. Together, they reveal the illusions we live by - in the workplace, in the home and in our own mind's eye.

White peach, apricot, nectarine and floral notes give the Riesling a juicy texture. There is ripe fruit on the palate, but a clean acidity frames it all, making this wine a refreshing drink.
