Ta se tipičnost prvo otkriva na nosu, sa mirisima limunovog cveta i voća, bele breskve i divlje šargarepe (Queen Anne’s Lace), plus suptilnim notama ananasa, grejpfruta i orlovih noktiju. 

Takođe je sasvim očigledan kameno-mineralni karakter, mada je to više zbog teroara niškog regiona u Srbiji, gde je grožđe raslo u vinogradima na preko 500 metara nadmorske visine. 

Ukus je čist, sočan, ali zavodljivo suv, i otvara se ka divnoj žutoj voćnosti – veoma citrusnoj – sa hrskavom kiselošću. Fina, vertikalna struktura. Diskretan dodir benzina, zajedno sa notom izgnječene žute jabuke u završnici, ukazuje da vino polako sazreva. 

Sada, kada mu je pet godina, njegova budućnost još uvek pripada trpezi.

The wine label states Anonymous – but with one sniff and swallow, every Grašac lover will immediately recognise the grape variety. 

Its typicity is first revealed on the nose, with scents of lemon blossom & fruit, white peach and Queen Anne’s Lace (divlja šargarepa), plus subtle hints of pineapple, grapefruit and honeysuckle. 

Also quite evident is the stone–mineral character, though this is due more to the terroir of Serbia’s Niš region, where the grapes grew in vineyards over 500 metres high. 

The palate is clean, juicy, yet seductively dry, and opens to a lovely yellow fruitiness – very citrusy – with crisp acidity. Fine, vertical structure. The discreet touch of petrol along with the bruised yellow apple note on the finish indicates the wine is slowly maturing. 

Now 5 years old, it’s future belongs at the dinner table.   |
