- Bottled unfiltered; 60 months 'sleeping' in bottle.
Tasting notes: complex, high acid white; a clean, fresh, mineral wine with notes of ripe peach and yellow flowers; long, saline finish - needs time to open in the glass!
Winery tasting note: Intense crystal clear golden yellow. Impressive bouquet, wide and deep. Aromas of yellow ripe fruit, Renetta apple, eucalyptus honey, aged note of dried fruit and resin. Refreshing and balsamic on the palate with a blasting maritime pine scent. Vertical acidity driven towards a long life. Kars longevity. Service temperature 10 - 12°C.
Vintage report: A remarkable vintage with perfect vintage condition, regular growing season, wide temperature changes and good rainfall. Cool and nice September harvest.
A NOTE ON THE WINERY:
- At the Kante vineyards the grapes are harvested by hand. - In the cellar, wines are neither fined nor filtered and no new oak is used (barrels are up to 18 years old). This is Edi's style and philosophy of winemaking.
