Krasnodar region, Russia, 14% vol., 745

Grape variety: Rkatsiteli

This wine is pale lemon-green in colour. It has an appealingly floral, fruity and mineral nose of quite pronounced intensity, giving a positive first impression, with aromas of lime, green apple, lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and thermal water. Despite its high alcohol, it is fresh, elegant and balanced on medium-bodied palate, though it slightly lacks concentration and complexity to match the intense alcohol, culminating in a medium finish. Ready for drinking.
