Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - Golden color. Nose is classical Chenin plus massively herbal notes - apple/quince, citrus, and honey (up to here Chenin), plus matcha tea, yuzu leaves, and pebbles on the stream (brought back the memory of my childhood when I was growing Swallowtail Butterflies by feeding the caterpillars with yuzu leaves). In the mouth, very high acidity, powdery and spiky at the beginning, drawing linear gradual upward curve (contrary to exponential upward curve typical of chenin), very steady, and increasing the level each sip as if the tide increases its water level. Some residual sugar is balancing otherwise painful amount of acidity. Rich and lingering aftertaste almost like dessert wine. It’s a true classical Chenin, but it also reminds me of top notch Wachau Riesling somehow, probably the structure of the acidity.
