"S" Slatnik Venezia Giulia Chardonnay Tocai Friulano 2021
At first it reminded me of a Normandy craft cider. Then I poured some in my glass and the colour struck me. It's orangey and clearly turbid. Not your casual chardonnay Sunday evening pour. The nose is verrrryyy complex, pear, apple, honey, elderflower, white pepper, some slight apricot touch and some yeasty notes too (?). The palate is great too, good acid drive, pear and apple, honey, good width, soft mouthfeel that turns into a tannic wall in the rear that caresses the tongue before powering a multi-layered finish with honey, apricot, apple, pear, a savoury, salty touch. Wow this is wild. It's absolutely not the same wine nor the same tastes and varietals but this reminds to some extent of Joly's wines from la Coulée de Serrant. Extremist in the approach somehow. These guys will die on that hill with their ideas. — 2 months ago

Tom Barras
Extraordinary extended skin contact white wine, made in the manner of ancient Georgian winemakers. Gorgeous appearance, unique aromas and flavors of dried fruits, nuts and exotic spices that transcend what one expects from traditional white wine. For adventurous palates only. — 13 days ago
