6/4/2022 - Vinogan(s) Does not like this wine:
An athlete's Bday commemoration: Crap. Creeping with VA. The producer should never have bottled this abomination

A blend of co-planted Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Savagnin and Trousseau. All co-fermented together spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, macerated with the skins for 6 weeks, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aged in old oak barrels over the winter. No indication of vintage in the label, just lot number "17". 11% alcohol.
Pale, thin reddish-orange color with a broad, colorless rim. Wild, funky and slightly dirty nose with aromas of orange rind, some crunchy cranberry, light mousy notes of basmati rice and a fusel-y hint of grappa. The wine is crisp, wild and light-bodied on the palate with very sauvage flavors of ripe redcurrants, some acetic roughness, a little bit of sour cherry bitterness, light earthy tones, a hint of crunchy cranberry and a touch of strawberry sweetness. Very high in acidity with no tannins to speak of. The finish is short, somewhat rough in throat with acetic VA and somewhat mousy with flavors of nut skin, stale bread, some crunchy cranberry, a little bit of redcurrant, light sappy notes of unripe red fruits and a touch of toasted sesame seeds.
Meh. The idea of having red and white grapes co-fermented together to make a crisp, pale red is great, but the idea falls rather short as the wine is almost undrinkable because of its rather heavily acetic VA character and quite light but still rather unpleasant mousiness that distracts from the pleasure quite a bit. I wished this was a wine I'd enjoy, but unfortunately this tastes more like ideology than proper winemaking. Pass.
