A Trip Around the World – Whites

Take a trip around the world without leaving the comfort of your own home with 4 wines from some of the most famous growing regions. This set contains 4 different white wines: 

2020 Do Ferreiro Rias Baixas Albariño

Fresh and smooth, this wine from bodega Gerardo Méndez has a dry, refreshing character and a great balance. Aniseed, white flowers, aromatic herbs, citrus and some mineral nuances. Long, crisp finish. Do Ferreiro is a benchmark Albariño. Every year, it delivers the goods, showing a degree of aromatic complexity, nervy minerality, and pure intensity of flavor that always makes it stand out from the rest. Delicious upon release, it is also one of the few Albariños to improve in bottle for up to a decade (maybe longer?) beyond the vintage year. There is bright fruit intermingling with the classic Do Ferreiro salty/smoky mineral bite. 

2018 Quinta Essentia Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc

A delicate yellow color with a hint of green suggests a vintage with good ripeness but good freshness. Fresh pineapple, yellow peach, litchi and a hint of gunsmoke greet the nose. Ripe orchard fruits are revealed on a medium-bodied palate that has lovely linearity and tension. The wine is poised and balanced, with a great combination of ripeness and mineral tension. Maturation in oak has resulted in characters of warm toasted brioche and roasted almonds, and the maturation on fermentation lees has given a creamy integration to all the flavor components.

2020 Colli di Lapio Vigna Andrea Avellino Fiano DOCG

Beautiful rich texture! Gently aromatic, very bright and savory on the palate, with hints of white tea and notes of citrus flower. The 2020 Fiano di Avellino mixes both savory and sweet, with dusty yellow flowers, raw almonds and gingery spice giving way to crushed apples and pears. It envelopes the palate with rich silky textures, as a mix of brisk acids and sour green citrus creates a more tactile feel. A twang of tart green apple and a coating of salty minerals linger long through the lightly structured finale.

2019 Picayune Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The wine opens up on aromas of ripe apple with hints of brioche. The palate is rich and silky with Asian pear, a few tropical notes and trace of honeysuckle. This mouthwatering Chardonnay is balanced with a fresh and lingering finish.  Drink on its own or pair with grilled salmon, a nice brie or anything else that inspires you. Production: 477 cases. 25% Stainless Steel. 75% French Oak, 25% New. Malolactic fermentation 100% completed.
