O Alborexar

Orgo

Dila-O Rkatsiteli Mtsvane

Doing a tasting at our wine club, The Nightshift, with the theme “Ancient Vines.” Starting off here to understand Georgian wines better. Hopefully a good beginning…

(Draft of the novel in the background)

Aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, apricot, dried fruits, unfiltered honey.

I don’t know what the ratings are smoking. Maybe people are biased towards Eurocentric/American winemaking traditions we’re used to seeing in the marketplace.

With a winemaking tradition 8,000 years old that claims to be the birthplace of wine, this is as old world as you’re going to get.

Honeyed yams and sweet potato, dry like the tartness of an unripe peach, tea like qualities.

I think this is lovely (especially for a tasting). It’s going to stack up nicely with some fun cheeses. Excited.

O Tinto Perfeito (Mateus Nicolau De Almeida)

O Clarete Douro Touriga Nacional Blend

From White Horse Wine and Spirits. Obviously not my first time having this lol. Probably a 2022 vintage but it’s not labeled. Anyway, dark chocolate-covered cherries, some oak and minerals, 🍷 Happy Friday! — 6 months ago

Pinque Waiheke Island Rosé Blend 2022

The description: The 2022 Pinque has classic strawberries and cream characters along with watermelon and a touch of Szechuan pepper. The 2022 vintage was warm and dry and correspondingly this wine is relatively low in acid making for a very smashable wine, although like all our wines there is plenty of subtle complexity to delight the taster. Enjoy! The opinion: in total agreement.
