Estremi Morgex et de la Salle Prié Blanc

Just a refreshing as it gets. Lemon and lime zest with slight pithy notes, hints of salinity, and mountain spring water and air. Delightful.

Reminiscent of glacier lettuce. Drying. This + oysters = the truth. Sometimes it's good to do different.

Very interesting white. Nose features a very extroverted and intense fruitiness which I couldn't identify, but my brother -- who had recently drunk an elderberry liqueur -- immediately identified it as elderberry. So that, plus a very clean freshness. In the mouth the fruit initially is almost cloying but gives way quickly to a clean stony minerality. Long finish and good acids.

Vallee d'Aoste 2013 DOC, 11.5%.
Bottle tasted in October 2014.
Made from a pre-phylloxera vineyard of Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle. These grapes grow in the Alps, in particularly harsh conditions, thus the production is limited.
Pale whitish-yellow color, nose with light scents of vanilla, hay or freshly cut herbs, a little pineapple, and fresh hazelnut.
Quite citrus in the mouth, long persistence, a bit sweet but acidic too. Leaves the mouth very clean. Good paired with rich cheeses.

Nice crisp easy drinking white. I'm a fan. Great story about the vines but I can't recall it well enough.
