Viura

The color of this wine is an alluring golden hue with a green tinge. On the nose there is first hint of reductiveness – but in a really good way (not struck match and H2S), think more wet river rocks and flint. It starts out ever so slightly dusty and then opens up with aromas of chamomile, elder flower and jasmine flower perfume. It really is very engaging with very fine citrus blossom sweetness, some vanilla and freshly ground cinnamon sticks. On the pallet the weight is amazing! Given the little extra skin contact, the subtle tannins that are present, create an environment that makes all those elegant flavors really “blossom”. Full, flavorsome, rounded sweetness, this wine is the epitome of balance. As to the finish, one can only describe it as ethereal. The ease with which the wine seems to disappear but continues to play is very elegant. It leaves a lovely weight that lingers, almost like the sensation and experience of eating candy floss! It’s very cerebral in quality, and lovely to enjoy.
