Of the many wines tasted 2 really surprised me:
Qvevri Rullem 2018
Mainly Muller Thurgau with skin contact and 7 months ageing with Flor.
The nose is subtle, aromatic and very pretty with loads of dried mango and tinned peaches with hint of crushed minerals.
The palate is filled with oranges, thyme and rosemary with powdery chalky tannins, and vibrant acidity.
Rose 2018
A blend of Rondo, Orion and Madeline Angevine.
Aromas of strawberry compote, vanilla bean and cream with background notes of almond flakes coming from hints of oxidation.
With a medium body, there is loads of fleshy peach on the palate with lively fruit and soft subtle tannins.
