4.2
This wine remains delightful, showcasing a deep bouquet that intertwines apricot jam, acacia honey, pine nuts, date fruits, grilled lemon, damp cellar nuances, and caramel. It's well-balanced, with just the right level of acidity and a long aftertaste, creating a neat and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
4.2
Every bottle of Ben Rye is a fiesta. Ripe apricot, apricot jam, flowers, pine nut, date fruit, caramel. Fresh, structured and balanced wine. Son of the Wind steals my hear each time.
About
From the Arabic term "Son of the Wind" because the wind sweeps constantly around the grape clusters on Pantelleria. And the island's winds bring with them a profusion of fragrances so powerful that you can touch them. An author label telling the love, the care and the effort of heroic viticulture on an island unique and fascinating. A fresh and enchanting portrait that reveals its essence.
Ben Ryé 2015 has a brilliant amber color. The nose offers a fragrant and complex bouquet, with notes of fresh apricot and orange zest combined with scents of Mediterranean scrub (thyme and rosemary). The palate amazes with its great freshness and intensity, with a pleasant sweetness balanced by great minerality and lively sapidity. It finishes with a lingering persistence, with a satisfying return of the fruity note. A complex and captivating Passito di Pantelleria, one of the most appreciated Italian sweet wines in the world.
