A plum & blackberry. Then a vanilla, licorice and coffee. Value for money - spectacular. π· β 7 months ago
Needs air at this young age but quickly hits its stride. Really fragrant, with zesty, ripe berries, spice, a yeasty, fresh bread note, and mineral-flecked turned gravel. Loads of upfront fruit, but in a dry package with zingy acids. Slight bitter note complements the fruit. So pure tasting and food flexible. Textbook. β 2 years ago

Oh wow, this is #valpolicellaripasso is lovely, bolt of cassis, bramble fruit and just this really faint undertone of peppery spice. Though this is Ripasso itβs very lithe on the palate - not weighty at all, fleshy acidity and that subtle peppery spice on the finish. This bottle will disappear fast, with or without a meal pairing. #corvina β 5 months ago
Tonight, weβre exploring a gorgeous white wine from Thermenregion, situated near Vienna, in Niederosterreich, Austria. π¦πΉ
Itβs made from the indigenous variety β Zierfandler β which weβd never tried before and were super excited to taste.Β Now that we have, we can confirm it is stunning! ππ
π This wine is medium lemon. ππ» On the nose are medium (+) intensity aromas of honeydew, ripe white peach, apricot, pear, white cherry, lemon and lime peel, white blossom, tarragon, chervil, wet slate, cardamom, honeycomb, and cream.
π On the palate this wine is dry with the tiniest hint of residual sugar, lending a honeyed characteristic. It has medium alcohol (13.5% ABV), a medium(+) body, and medium(+) acidity with medium(+) intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. It has a persistent finish and a rich, textured mouthfeel that reminds us of a Viognier.
We paired this wine with a creamy herb πΏ capellini pasta, sautΓ©ed shrimp, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes. It went deliciously!! ππ«
Cheers to exploring new wines from new regions and finding some real treasures along the way! π₯π₯

A bit much. Not elegant but super intense and almost seemed young. Only 13% but felt like more. β 18 days ago
