Kuban. Taman peninsula PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 13.5% vol., 500

Grape variety: Chardonnay

This wine is medium lemon-yellow in colour. It has a fairly appealing nose of quite pronounced intensity, with aromas of apple, banana, mango, honeydew melon and butter. It is fresh and concentrated on the medium-bodied palate, but lacks complexity and culminates in a medium finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).
