What a pleasant surprise! Smooth as silk, 15 months of oak without being too heavy. Thumbs up!

Light gold. Aromas of white flowers, kiwi, ginger and oak. Medium bodied, creamy in mouthfeel, has a slight touch of sweetness, and there's some expressive acidity on the swallow. Flavors of vanilla pudding, ginger, and kiwi and melon. It finishes with kiwi, spicy ginger and an uplift of acidity.

Great and heavy desert wine. Not very sweet, just perfect.

Love this wine - a Bulgarian Chardonnay that genuinely competes with the best in the world.
