White

White peach and a hint of lychee on the nose. Really ripe fruit, a hint of tangerine rind. Creamy peach with a lick of barrel toast. A litle floral. Gardenia perhaps? Savoury, saline palate brings the aromatic diffuseness into focus. Amazing how it keeps its acidty. Suggestions of opulence but refreshing with surprising elegance and delicacy on the end, and a tingle of mineral salt. Long, fleshy ripe white peach and hints of tropical fruit. Nispero? Jonatan notes that industrial versions of Malvasía Volcanica are made like Verdejo (the Rueda white ubiquitous in Spain). In 2024 they filled one 1,500l foudre, three 500l barrels (Stockinger).
