* A medium sweet white
wine with an interesting soft and very smooth character, low-key
aromatic character with impressions of honey, minerals, almonds,
flowers and a nice freshness, well balanced wine with a very original
style.
- Drink this wine from now on, it might be kept for one or maybe two years, but aging will change the wines character into a more earthy and nutty style, it is the honey and flowers that make this wine so nice at this moment. Definitely drink before 2009.
- The white Friulian grape Verduzzo is being rediscovered, the style is
not very expressive, but has an attractive earthy character. A far cry
from sauvignon blanc or Chardonnay, but quite interesting in the
spectrum of wine tastes and aroma's. It is a good thing regional grapes
are still being used for wine making. Exporting them is the next step
in the process to prevent extinction.
