Classic orange/gold color. Citrus/orange on the nose with some subtle oak. Wine is thinner than usual and lacking depth and flavor. Very short finish.

Aug 25th, 2024Classic orange gold color. Paired nicely with bbq short ribs. Honey, apricot, oranges, and a little Sauternes on the nose. Same on the palate. Maybe a touch over the hill, but nice.

Jul 7th, 2024Warm weather is here, so time to break out the Ribolla Gialla!
Orangish gold color. Honeysuckle, lavender, and perfume/floral tones. Wasn’t what I was expecting from having many past vintages. Wine is more refined and less acidic than I’m used to. That’s not bad, wine just seems mellower than normal but more complex.

11% skin contact ribolla from mathiasson. Textured. Medium body. Acid surprisingly lacking. But still enjoyable, just less than I was hoping.

I love Matthiasson but this is just not my wine. Not huge on long contact skin whites. I almost feel bad for writing this because I know it’s biased. Pouring it...immediately looks like it has a ton of age on it! This is an insane, uncharacteristically, weird wine. Nose: Orange rind, lemon, and can smell the vinegar. Tongue: vinegar, nuts, orange, baked lemon. This wine needs a while in the glass to even out. Too cider like for me. But if you like that type of wine, I can tell it’s top notch.
