Kuban. Novorossiysk PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 14.5% vol., 470

Grape variety: Chardonnay

This wine is medium lemon-yellow in colour. It has an appealing, quite varietally pure nose of fairly pronounced intensity, with aromas of green apple, honeydew melon, lemon, peach and tropical fruit (especially mango), with a touch of oak. It is lacking balance on the full-bodied palate, with overwhelming alcohol on the finish. Ready for drinking.

Country of purchase: Russia
