Description

The Wild Ferment Assyrtiko by Gaia is an astoundingly good, highly complex white wine grown in the rugged vineyards of Santorini.  Grapes are hand harvested with the free run juice fermented with natural yeast in a mixture of stainless steel (45%), old barrels (45% equally mixed between French & American oak and Acacia), and ceramic vat.  Fermentation is natural with batonnage and 6 months ageing on fine lees prior to bottling.


The wine itself is beautifully complex with aromatics of the acacia wood mixed with vanilla, toasty oak, citrus and touches of smoke.  The palate is layered and complex mixing citrus fruits, mineral notes and a refreshing salinity to the long, tangy finish.  Delicious and distinctive!

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle

Chenin Blanc

The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.

Riesling

The Riesling Feinherb fromWeingut Thorle is a beautifully poised off-dry style of Riesling with a bright yellow colour. The bouquet offers up scents of peaches and apples, limestone and a touch of wild yeasts.  On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with fine intensity of flavour, bright acidity, nice focus and a complex finish.
