GAIA ESTATE – GAIA ESTATE – GAIA ESTATE ASSYRTIKO WILD FERMENT 2015
Notes de dégustation: couleur jaune verte. Nez de citron, de citron vert et de pomme verte. En bouche, c’est salin sur le zeste de citron et citron vert un peu fumé. Le vin possède à la fois de la minéralité mais aussi du fond. Un vin de classe internationale avec une histoire à raconter.
VIN : GAIA ASSYRTIKO WILD FERMENT 2015 |
The 2015 Assyrtiko Wild Ferment is Gai’a’s alternative vision of Assyrtiko. About half the juice was aged in stainless steel. The rest was about evenly divided between new French, American and Acacia barriques; with just 3% each in used French, American and Acacia barriques. The complicated vinification process aside, this works beautifully this year. Lush and caressing in texture, it shows fine fruit and tastes great, handling the wood rather brilliantly, showing it mostly in the slightly sweet hint on the edge. It also seems nicely concentrated this year. Just when you think the only thing it needs is a little acidity to cut the lushness, the sun comes out on the finish, so to speak, and enlivens this wine with a crisp undertone. This has not always been my favorite of Gai’a’s lineup, but there is nothing to complain about here, only things to admire. There were 49,000 bottles produced. Robert parker. The Wine Advocate. 91/100
