TASTING NOTE

white wine
A quite expressive wine with a pleasantly full mouth feeling. The wine shows a rich fruit palate of grapefruit and ripe gooseberries, combined with some hints of vegetables, malolactic fermentation and a striking flint flavor. The wine is elegant and well balanced.

Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 29 May 2020
Appearance
A clear, lemon colored wine with medium- color intensity.
Nose
The wine has a clean nose, the development is still youthful. The wine is quite aromatic, it has a medium+ aroma intensity. We smell sweet yellow fruit and vegetables. The nose experiences aromas of apple, peer, ripe gooseberries, ripe grapes, almonds, elder flower and grass. when the wine has had some air, the grassy scents disappear and we smell more honey instead.
Palate
A dry wine with a medium level of alcohol (13%), and medium acidity. The wine is quite expressive and has a pleasantly full mouth feeling. We give both body and flavour intensity a medium +. Moreover we taste a pleasant tingling sensation on the tongue.
The flavor palate consists of citrus fruit and shows malolactic fermentation. We taste grapefruit, ripe gooseberries, a bit butter and yogurt and and a striking flint flavor.
