Vintage Gravner Ribolla 2013

£89.50

Gravner is the ultimate ‘orange wine’ producer – hallowed, emulated, copied but never equalled. He has long held the crown as Friuli’s top winemaker and one of the very best in the whole of Italy.

Gravner’s Ribolla Gialla by  is a magical interpretation of this famous white grape variety; it is an orange wine, fermented in amphora in contact with its skins (from which it gets the colour!) and then aged in large oak barrels for a whopping 6 years! The wine shows how and why Gravner’s reputation was built; a masterpiece that uses the best grapes and best techniques to elevate every element in the wine you pour into your glass.

The wine has a lovely amber hue with natural cloudiness (due to it being unfiltered).  Expect aromas of apricot, peach, herbs, beeswax, dried fruits and dried flowers. Full-bodied, intense with an extraordinary richness and complexity. Beautifully fresh,  supported by gentle minerality with undertones of tobacco smoke and wet stone. An amazingly complex wine with a huge breadth of fruits (orange marmalade, apricots, lemon, apples, and pears), as well as floral and herbal notes. The finish is incredibly long with pleasant firm tannins and a delicious gripping texture.

Treat this Ribolla as a light red wine: let it breathe for at least a few minutes before serving just slightly chilled. At 10 years old, this wine is amazing to drink now but also has some time ahead of it (if you have the patience to put it away).
Only tiny amounts of aged Gravner exist at this age, so be quick!
