Olivini Brut (White)
More from this producer: Olivini
2020
70 months on the lees! Disgorged 01/24. Only 900 bottles. Bruised orchard fruit. Restrained and mineral at first. Opens up to a touch of tangerine. Light floral and garrigue. Incredibly refined, classy. Ripe fruit hides the absence of sugar. Beautiful acidity, just enough concentration for balance. Elegant, classy, hint of phenolic weight on finish. It's not Champagne but it could be.
