SAUVIGNON BLANC

2016

In the vineyard: Slavyantsi village, Bash Koliba vineyard

In the Cellar: The grapes were hand-picked at two different levels of ripeness, chilled, and gently crushed, then slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. After a short time on the lees the blend was assembled and bottled.

Alcohol: 13.5%
TA: 5.7 g/l
pH: 3.2
Residual sugar: dry

In the glass: The nose is delicately fragrant, displaying ripe grapefruit, fresh apples, and straw notes. The palate is rich with a touch of green grass and herbs. The restrained acidity of the taste is very well balanced leading to a long finish with pink grapefruit accent. Pairs naturally with seafood, green salads, and soft cheeses.

Recommended Cellaring: 0-4 years

PINOT GRIS

2015

In the vineyard: Slavyantsi village, Bash Koliba vineyard
The grapes were hand-picked at optimum ripeness and sorted at vineyard and winery. The Bash Koliba vineyard is split into two parts: heavier soil adding weight to the wine, and lighter earth bringing delicate varietal aromas.

In the Cellar: The major part of the juice was tank-fermented at 14˚C - 16˚C with different yeasts to reveal the full spectrum of the varietal character.

Alcohol: 13.2%
TA: 5.8 g/l
pH: 3.2
Residual sugar: dry

In the glass: Vibrant acidity gives sleekness to the wine, on a backbone of yellow plums, orange peel and almonds. Smoky minerality complements the surprisingly full weight, while spices and pink grapefruit emerge out of the succulent, tangy finish. A perfect example of elegance backed up by substance.

Gold Medal winner at Mundus Vini Germany 2017.
