Château Topoľčianky, Devín Straw Wine, Nitrianska, Slovakia 2021

A straw wine from Nitra, crafted using the indigenous Devín grape. An impressively perfumed nose of jasmine, dried apricot and peach. With alcohol at just 8.5%, the 216 g/l of sugar gives a luscious mouthfeel, though well-balanced by 7.7 g/l of acidity. Bitter lemon zest refreshes the concentrated palate of dried yellow fruits, lead to a lingering finish.
