2019 Alice L'Estrange La Sol de Coelemu
Strange Grapes
Regular price $38.00
Moscatel Rosado/Moscatel de Alejandría/Corinto/Torontel. Field blend (co-ferment) on skins, pressed at dry. 120-200yr-old vines. Wine was basically made by Soledad (grower who lives in Coelemu, hence the name) because I asked her to pick Moscatel Rosado separately but the truck arrived with an exploding fruit salad of everything in the parcel so all went into the pot. Turned out much better than if I'd had my way. Tiny amount of So2 added after malo but lab test reads 1ppm total.
Super floral on the nose, plush fruits dominate the palate which resembles a fruit bowl. Vibrant tropical fruit acidity with light texture and a very subtle saline finish.
