·@ChișinăuThe wine lies (Ich Lüge) - because, due to regulations, it couldn't declare its true identity: Welschriesling. Which is Riesling, just not that Riesling. No hard feelings, though.
Aged for 4 and 5 months in acacia barrels (300L and 500L), it shows an interesting and slightly restrained nose - ripe and underripe white fruits, a citrus blend of lemon and pomelo, and a gentle, riverbank-like earthiness. Subtle, but aromatically engaging.
On the palate, it's lean, clean, and refreshing. Light-bodied with vibrant acidity that keeps everything lively. Zesty, nuanced, and quietly expressive. I've got another bottle, and it clearly deserves a slower, more focused revisit.
