Crimea PGI, Republic of Crimea, Russia, 13.5% vol., 665

Grape variety: Chardonnay; Sauvignon Blanc; Riesling

This wine is pale lemon-yellow in colour. It has an appealing nose of quite pronounced intensity, with aromas of gooseberry, tropical fruit (especially pineapple), apricot, fresh-cut grass, verbena flower and lemongrass. It is quite balanced on the fresh, light-bodied palate, with a salty, medium finish, although it lacks complexity. Ready for drinking.
