Very funky, I actually thought it was bad on the initial taste but was assured by my lovely girlfriend who knows way more about wine than myself that this was the style. Not my bag, but it did become better after being opened for 2 days. Notes of citrus, FUNK, minerals, sweat, yeast.

Really fresh and tart and a tiny bit funky on the finish. Very enjoyable!

Flera årgångar och vingårdslägen av Chenin bladade. Frukten drar åt gula plommon i samverkan med zest, parmesan och sälta. Lätt oljig textur och väldigt frisk.
