17 ECB. "Destemmed and fermented on skins and left for extended maceration for six months then pressed and aged in neutral barrels for an additional 18 months. Spiced, crushed-almond aromatics with pear and apricot-skin accents on the palate. Nicely textural, non-aggressive tannins. Delicious and nuanced with nice balance. Ryme has made an elegant example of a skin-contact white with this wine. Will benefit from air upon opening. Perfect to serve with food." Elaine Chukan Brown, JancisRobinson.com, Aug 2015 |
