Kuban. Novorossiysk PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 13.2% vol., 500

Grape variety: Chardonnay 50%; Aligote 35%; Viognier 15%

This wine is pale lemon-green in colour. It has an appealing nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of lemon, apple, passion fruit and grass. It is light with crisp acidity, but it also has good intensity on the quite balanced, medium-bodied palate, although it really lacks complexity, culminating in a shortish finish. Ready for drinking.
