What a nose on this glass of “Victory Vine” – the literal translation of the variety name. Jasmine, lychee, honeycomb and lanolin are very forward, leading you to think something sweet might be coming. It’s not, as the wine is crisp and dry, delivering stony minerality with the lychee and shy apricot flavors. The finish is honey focused in flavor with zero honey texture. Unique!
