Donskaya Chasha Rkatsiteli
Rostov, Russia
Tasted 11/11/2014
Donskaya Chasha is one of my favorite whites made of Rkatsiteli grape.
Colour of straw with emerald glitters.
Unbelievably fantastic, complex nose with over-riped quince as main component, plus tarragon, dried apricots and lime.
Tasting it shows premature green apple and lime hints.
Long lingering acidic finish makes impression of apple/quince lollipop.
Distinctive, energizing wine. I never met anything alike before.
Paired with white mold and goat cheese varieties - worked fine.
