Kuban. Taman peninsula PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 11.5% vol., 240

Grape variety: Grüner Veltliner

This wine is deep straw-yellow in colour. It has an appealing nose of moderate intensity, with varietal aromas of white pepper, as well as quince. It is however missing balance on the light-bodied palate, with a lack of acidity resulting in a fading, uncomplex finish. Ready for drinking, but already past its peak.

Country of purchase: Russia
