Kuban. Novorossiysk PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 13% vol., 1 600

Grape variety: Riesling

This wine is medium straw yellow in colour. It has an appealing, fairly varietally pure nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of green apple, apricot, lemon, grapefruit, white flowers, wet stone and wet fur. It is well balanced on the light-bodied palate with crisp acidity and an airy quality, although it lacks real complexity and concentration. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).
