  Different vineyard and style of Ribolla Gialla I’m used to from Matthiasson. Light gold color which is much different from the orangish I was expecting. A mix of Chard and Riesling. Melons dominated with refreshing tartness. Great on a hit summer evening!

  Color is pale gold, nearly straw. Pear and hazelnuts, lemon curd and white flowers. Medium body, high acid, long finish. Lemon zest and yellow apples. Surprisingly fresh for its age.

  Beautiful color and scent on opening. Wide variety of flavors, mostly pear, and this paired GREAT with a spicy garlic shrimp pasta that usually crushes wines.

  Ok, but not our favorite. Can’t quite put our finger on it, flavor profile just isn’t hitting us.

  Light golden color. Nose showed a bit of oxidation but not in a bad way. Some golden apple and lemon zest with a hint of wax. Similar flavors on the palate with ripe white orchard fruits and citrus along with a touch of that oxidative flavor. High acidity. I think this wine has a lot going on and just needs a little more time to come together. Still enjoyable and paired well with lemon chicken and roasted potatoes.
