In the glass
Aroma: ripe apricot, pear, honey, smoke, earth
Palate: apricot, oak, honey
Golden and thick-textured: earthy aromas over ripe apricot and pear, layered with strong oak, creamy honey and a delicate smokiness, closing pleasantly tannic.
What it pairs with
-
Roast pork with quince
The wine's honey and apricot notes meet the fruit, and the tannin handles the fat. -
Mushroom ketsi
Earthy aromatics and mushroom share a register, and the texture carries the dish. -
Aged guda cheese
A firmly tannic amber wine needs the salt and fat of a matured cheese.
