Appearance: Intense, deeper straw–golden yellow color, which is the result of full ripeness and slight micro-oxidation (controlled by a layer of flor). This gives the wine a slight complexity and depth.
Aroma: On the nose, delicate aromas of ripe fruit unfold – old varieties of apples (voščenka, kosmač), pears (tepka, vodenka), and gentle fruit ripeness. There is a subtle herbal note, slight minerality, and a light oxidative note that gives the wine depth and character – something reminiscent of home orchards and nostalgia.
Taste: On the palate, the wine is dry, medium to full-bodied, with nicely balanced acidity and a soft texture. Fruitiness (apples, pears) and minerality are balanced – the taste feels fresh, yet with character. There is a slight creaminess or buttery structure, probably the result of extended aging on the lees.
Finish: The finish is medium-long, mineral-fruity and clean – the aftertaste brings fruity notes of pear and apple, slight minerality, and subtle warmth. The wine invites another sip, while offering enough complexity for contemplation.
