2020 Enjingi Grasevina, Kutjevo, Croatia
$21.00
100% Graševina (aka Welschriesling), it's hand harvested and de-stemmed, macerated on the skins for approximately 48 hours in stainless steel and plastic vats. The spontaneous fermentation process is temperature controlled at 16°-18°C. Aged in a combination of stainless steel (inox) tanks and Enjingi-handmade Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 12-24 months. The wine is not filtered before bottling.
Ivan Enjingi, Croatia's cult-status natural winemaker makes this this surprisingly classic, aromatic wine -- herbaceous and petrol notes, minerality, and some really nice ripe and dried autumn fruit on the nose lead to a complex palate that is layered and surprisingly fresh with acidity, which allows the wine to be wildly flexible at the table.
