Treize Etoiles Fendant
Martigny, Valais, Switzerland
It's like white flower honey-kissed pears and herbal tea on the nose which is promising. But on the plate it's crisp dry and mildly appley you and peary like if you put some fruit in diluted lemonade for 15 minutes and served it. There's a bit of a discontent between the senses. It's cool climate with the crisp acidity on the finish but it's weird lacking that electric cool climate spark. The finish is short and the texture is lacking think P. Grigio in spite of it being petillant. It's not that it's flawed, it's just beige boring unremarkable. The fact that it's mildly sparkling is the most interesting thing about it but you can achieve similar results in a spritzer with a Grigio and some mineral water.
