Back vintage tasting from producer. Very cool to see evolution. Some yellow apple, unique notes of orange potpourri, light funk, richer than current vintage. Couldn't buy any though!

This has a bit more going on then most Soave. A tasty mix of citrus dominated fruit along with a touch of stone fruit. I like the orange zest notes and minerality too. 12..5% qlc $15 locally.

A true representation of Soave, and a wonderful one at that - crisp, refreshing, and bursting with flavour. This is a far cry from the simple, tastless, mass produced versions that have given the region a bad name. To start, both the nose and palate provided floral and citrus notes. Riper, richer fruit followed suit with yellow apple, peach, and nectarine. Finally, the savoury notes - a bit of sweet spice and white pepper, with a strong helping of minerality. The acidity was pronounced but provided a perfect balance for the palate. This, combined with a light body, made for the incredibly refreshing feel. The wine paired incredibly with the BBQ salmon I enjoyed along side; I suspect it would pair well with quite a lot of dishes. Overall, an excellent experience and (hopefully) a testament for what we'll see more of from Soave going forward!

Joint note: beach sand, mineral/chalk/salty, touch yeasty, floral honey sweetness, barn hay, fresh cut young raw milky wood, actually quite a bit going on on the nose; a bit broad and weighty on the palate, high acidity, dilute nectarine juice, very yeasty, finishes a little dilute and short. Aromatically interesting even if the palate falls a little short, for $20 would get again. Nice Bilby note: beach sand, mineral/chalk/salty, floral honey sweetness, resinous plastic/chemical, yeats powder!!!, apple cider, pineapple, vegemite, beer, white moulded underripe cheese, underipe peach juice, bitterness like fruit flesh near the stone,
