It has been a while since my last Bordeaux wine, nevertheless a white. Entre-Deux-Mers is a sub-region where we can find good value white, red and sweet Bordeaux wines. This wine is a blend of Sauvignon blanc, Semillon with a touch of Muscadelle. I have already presented a beautiful full-bodied wine from Vigneron Chaigne et Fils @rchbx so I was excited to taste something else from their portfolio! A medium deep golden color with silver hue and a medium plus viscosity appear in the glass. The nose has freshly cut grass, green bell pepper, lemonpeel, elderflower, acacia, apricot and grapefruit. Dry wine with high acidity, medium alcohol and medium body. Flavours of lemon, grapefruit, green bell pepper and elderflower leads us to a medium plus lenght. A very good quality wine which best to drink in the next 3-5 years when it is chilled to 8-10°C. Have it next to a charcuterie board, seafood platter, sushi or creamy cheeses. Which appellation is your favourite in Bordeaux? And do you prefer white, red or sweet wines from this region? . . . . . . #wineblog #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #whitewinelover #bordeauxwine #bordeauxblend #whitewineblend #frenchwine #whitewines #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetastings #wineblend #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineoftheday #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #weinliebhaber (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQtrLjN7Ao/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Tasting Tuesday Everyone! Shall we continue our discovery around the Northern Rhone? I've brought a Saint-Joseph AOC from Cave de Tain @cavedetain , the longest and the most diverse appellation in the area. I am sharing some information about the AOC in my stories, please make sure you check them out to understand the complexity of this area. Now let's see the tasting notes of this 2019 vintage Nobles Rives. The wine has an appealing and vivid ruby red color and a medium plus viscosity. Intense fruity nose with ripe blackcurrant, cherries, plums and cassis; black olives, black pepper and sweet cooking spices such as cloves and cinnamon with a touch of vanilla. A dry wine with high acidity, medium plus alcohol feel with smooth, ripe tannin structure. A medium plus bodied wine with flavours identical of the ones from the nose and has a medium plus finish. I consider this as a very good quality which can be kept for another 5-8 years and drink it on 16-18°C. Perfect to pair with red meats from the grill on a BBQ for example, even with some heavier poultry dishes and hard cheeses. Have you tried a Saint-Joseph before? How was your experience? P.S.: We have tasted this wine Live with David from Cave de Tain and shared a bunch more information about it, so feel free to take a look on that too! . . . . . #wineknowlegde #wineaddicted #rotwein #redwinelover #rhonewine #frenchwine #syrah #weinporn #hermitage #vörösbor #wineindustry #winebusiness #wineblogger #wineinfluencer #wineeducation #winetastingnotes #winetasting #weinliebe #weinliebhaber #vinrouge #womeninwine #neverstoptasting #neverstoplearning #winesaroundtheworld #winestyle #travellingsommelier #sommeliere #wineeducator #wineexperience (at Saint-Joseph, Rhone-Alpes, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWESaCFNaYj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cheers to a new week guys! I like to start my Mondays on the best possible way and I think this Lange Nebbiolo DOC will just do it! I am sure most of you are familiar with this variety as it produces premium DOCGs such as Barolo or Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy. So it is not a surprise we can see it in Vinchio Vaglio's @vinchiovaglio portfolio as well. This version is a lighter and easier style from the 2020 vintage, let's see! It has a light ruby color with medium plus viscosity. The nose has ripe red fruit aromas of raspberry and strawberry with violet flowers, some red roses and spices like rosemary and thym. Coffee and earthy notes makes it more complex. A dry wine with medium plus acidity, super smooth tannins with medium intensity, a well-integrated alcohol and a medium body. The palate shows flavours of red fruits, plums, coffe and some vanilla with a mushroomy finish of medium plus length. A good quality wine which is ready to drink now or the next 5 years and serve it on 16-18°C. Have it on its own or with well-cooked meat such as pork, duckleg, stews and can be even served with a cheese plate! How do you like your Nebbiolo? A lighter, smoother style or with more body and tannin? Younger or older version? . . . . . . #wineblog #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #winesofpiedmont #rotwein #vörösbor #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #nebbiololover #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineeducation #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #sommeliere #winelovers🍷 #giveanewwineago #nebbiolo (at Piedmont, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBrKLTtP95/?utm_medium=tumblr

Riesling is such an amazing variety that I have to come back to this grape and taste its different faces and expressions. Today we are travelling to the Mosel Valley in Germany to try a classic version from this area. This Einblick N°1 produced by Nikolaus Köwerich @weingut.nikolaus.koewerich contains 13g/l residual sugar which is fairly common in German Rieslings, it makes the wine very versatile for food. And a lovely choice during lunch with its only 11% ABV (alcohol by volume). A pale lemon color with a touch of effervescence and a medium minus viscosity. The nose is intense with lemon, grass, green apple, peaches and white blossom flowers. It is a medium dry wine as you would suggest with high acidity, low alcohol and a lighter body. Simple but aromatic flavours of lemon, peaches and honeysuckle with a medium plus lenght. Good quality wine that best to drink while it's young and cooled down to 10-12°C. Have it on its own as an aperitif or with lighter fish and seafood dishes. Which style of Riesling is your favourite? . . . . . #winesofgermany #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #germanwine #weißwein #fehérbor #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #rieslinglover #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineeducation #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #sommeliere #winelovers🍷 #giveanewwineago #riesling (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhwe-dtJp_/?utm_medium=tumblr

What an underrated variety! Brachetto is a native grape of Piedmont, a northern region of Italy and makes some easy-drinking slightly sparkling sweet red wine. If you like Moscato d'Asti, here is the big brother! This Piemonte Brachetto has a DOC qualification and produced by the Vinchio Vaglio @vinchiovaglio cooperative. I have already talked a lot about this winery, I have even written a blogpost about them and their main focus on the Barbera grape. Soon I will release another article about these native varieties from this region so stay tuned! This wine has a light and bright reddish color, almost like a deeper rosé with lovely bubbles. Very aromatic smell with marascino cherries, strawberry, red grapes and a hint of bubble gum. A sweet wine with high acidity, low alcohol (only 6,5% ABV) and low tannins which sums up in a light-bodied wine with flavours of identical with the aromas on the nose and finishes in a medium plus lenght. Good quality wine which best to drink as soon as possible when cooled down to 6-8°C. I would definitely have it alone as an aperitif or paired with chocolaty desserts like a mousse au chocolat. Do you have a favourite wine from Piedmont? Have you ever tried a Brachetto? . . . . . . #wineblog #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #sparklingwines #rotwein #italianwine #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #brachetto #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineeducation #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #sommeliere #winelovers🍷 #giveanewwineago #piedmontwine I Werbung (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVH2eFNCHe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you already had a Riesling from Hungary? It is the country of Welschriesling and not Riesling but just like everywhere, you can always find some great examples if you look in the right place. And Vabrik's Winery @vabrikpinceszet in the region of Etyek-Buda, right next to the capital is the place you're looking for. I haven't heard about the producer before and I got this bottle from my best friend and was amazed by its quality! Such a young winery founded in 2011 but produces a wide range of very good wines already. It has a light golden color with silver hue and a medium viscosity. Super intense nose with aromas of citrus notes, elderflower, white blossom flowers, honeysuckle, pear, quince and the unforgettable petrol note. It is definitely a dry Riesling which has high acidity, medium alcohol and a medium plus body with flavours of lemon, ripe apples, pear and some butter at the long finish. A well-balanced, excellent quality wine that worth to keep it in the cellar for another 10-15 years. Serve it slightly chilled to 10-12°C. I would definitely have it next to fish and seafood dishes with a creamier sauce, some poultry or even a pork medallion. It is perfect next to a cheese platter as well. Which region or country is your go-to for a great Riesling? . . . . . . #wineblog #winephotography #wineaddicted #wineblogger #hungarianwine #weißwein #fehérbor #wineknowledge #wineinfluencer #winestyle #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #rieslinglover #instahungary #mutimitiszol #sommlife #sommlifestyle #somm #neverstoptasting #wineenthusiast #wineexperience #womeninwine #womenwholovewine #wineeducation #travellingsommelier #youcansipwithus #sommeliere #winelovers🍷 #giveanewwineago #riesling (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOKs7rtFOc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Are you a fan of bubbles? Although it is often represent some sort of celebration, sparkling wines can be easily a perfect company with your meal. As you can see, we had a little celebration as my friend, Nina chose to be with us on her birthday but this Crémant d'Alsace Rosé from Domaine Fernand Engel @domainefernandengel was a good idea to have with our lunch as well! A 100% Pinot Noir sparkling with vibrant light salmon color and a lovely effervescence. The nose is intense, full of ripe strawberries, cranberry, cherry, bleuberry, complimented with roses, butter and brioche. A dry crémant with high acidity, medium alcohol (12%) and medium body. Dominated with red fruit flavours, brioche and a long finish. A very good quality wine, drink it within the next 5 years on 6-8°C. A perfect choice on its own or with salmon, sushi, salads, pasta with tomato sauce and grilled vegetables.
