TASTING NOTE
Gris de Villare 2018
white wine
The Gris de Villare is a beautiful, exciting and well made white wine with 6 months aging in French oak. The sweet fruit drifts out of the glass and is nicely integrated with soft scents of wood aging. Unfortunately, the nose fades a bit after being open for a while. But to make up for that, a delicious full taste with flowers, hints of wood ripening and lots of sweet fruit, which is nicely balanced with the acids, quickly follows..

Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 19 May 2021
Appearance
A clear, lemon colored wine with medium- color intensity. Some tears are visible on the glass
Nose
The wine has a clean nose, which holds the middle between youthful and developing. The smell is a bit subdued with a medium- aroma intensity but the aroma palate is wide and we smell all kinds of fruit: yellow fruit, citrus, tropical fruit and beautiful scents of wood aging. Pineapple, orange, apple, gooseberries, potpourri, dried figs, vanilla and biscuit. Very nice!
Palate
It is a dry wine with a medium+ level of alcohol (13.5%) and a medium – level of acidity. With a medium+ flavor intensity and medium body this wine has a lot of flavors to offer. It has a full taste and oily mouth feel. We taste characteristics of fruit and oak aging. Nice flavors of mandarin, rose leaves, apricot, yellow apples, vanilla, brioche and rock candy and a pleasant medium+ ending.
Quality Assessment
A beautiful, exciting and well- made wine. It has quite some sweet fruit but this is nicely balanced with the acidity. A beautiful broad aroma and taste palate but after being open a little longer the nose fades a bit. Ready to drink now, not suitable for further aging.
