Nikolaos Wild Yeast Sauvignon Blanc 750ml (Crama Histria)

This Nikolaos Wild Yeast Sauvignon Blanc from Crama Histria is fermented with wild yeast from hand-picked and sorted grapes in the Dobrogea region of Romania. ABV 12.5%

The aroma is very rich, with a predominant mineral character along with hints of blackcurrant leaves, gooseberry, yuzu, hay, lychee, apricot, nectarine, apple, pear, and lemon. There are also nuances reminiscent of bread dough and brioche-like yeast. 

On the palate, it boasts a rich mineral character derived from the calcareous soil, which is well-balanced by moderate acidity and fruitiness. There's a subtle sweetness reminiscent of citrus fruits, making it very enjoyable to drink. You can detect slight yeast and wheat nuances on the palate. The aftertaste unfolds with apple flavors, similar to when you drink German chamomile tea or apple-based herbal tea, leaning more towards yellow apples than green apples. It has a medium body. Crafted by wild yeasts, it offers a soft and smooth drinking experience. 

It pairs wonderfully with appetizers and salads featuring olive oil, chicken or fish dishes seasoned with herbs, low-oil fresh cheeses, aioli, tapas, Mediterranean cuisine, grilled young chicken thighs, and white fish with lemon-based sauces.
