This wine is outstanding. So soft and slight, but full of delicate nuance and depth. On the nose there’s that lovely petrol or rubber note that opens you up to the sweetness of the wine, but when you taste the attack is so gentle and the acidity so perfectly balances the rounder fruit notes that you end up with this magically cleansing lively mouthfeel. Ideal for Asian cuisine. This wine is perfect for adventurous curious drinkers to bring to their friends who swear they only like Sauv. Blanc. Dry and crisp enough that they’ll like it, but different enough that they’ll experience something new.

16.5/20 (90/100) Своеобразное вино - 6 недель холодной мацерации до начала ферментации. Аромат пчелиного воска, дыни, цедры лимона и тушеной капусты. Довольно тельное с очень высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Мне нравится.

young semillon. pretty and light pear and lychee aromas. palate has searing acidity, like sour green apple. not what i was expecting. very little sweetness. fun to try but the acidity is the dominant feature, might need more time to integrate.
