I don’t really hide the fact that I adore the wines of @jolielaidewines, so I’m particularly excited when they come out with a new one. I opened my first bottle of their Freisa on Sunday night and was surprised at how serious a wine it is. I was expecting something light and playful but man does this little number have some GRIP to it, or what? The strawberry fruit you expect is there but layered with herbs, tea, and earth and tannin, er, I mean, TANNIN. Foot-stomped, whole-cluster indeed. It will be very interesting to see how this one ages.
