Community Tasting Note

simonjwoolf Likes this wine:

Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - This Ribolla had longer skin contact than any other vintage ever made at Gravner. It wasn't taken off the skins until around 26th April 2003 (so almost 7 months in qvevri)

Paradoxically, it's incredibly fresh and vibrant, with hits of papaya, caramel, red berries and dried herbs. Soft textured, quite big in the mouth and utterly open.

A real joy to drink, and a great demonstration of just how slow these macerated Ribollas evolve. Quite possibly at its peak right now - at 15 years old!
