Krasnodar region, Russia, 14% vol., 2 250

Grape variety: Traminer

This wine is deep lemon-yellow in colour. An appealing varietally pure, fresh nose of pronounced intensity that gives a very positive first impression, with aromas of lychee, lemon, pineapple, white pepper, passion fruit, orange and apricot. The full-bodied, concentrated palate is slightly out of balance with overwhelming alcohol on the medium finish. The palate doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of the nose. Ready for drinking.
