Shabo Telti-Kuruk Reserve

You may not have had this factual knowledge at hand: Ukraine also has some indigenous grapes. Such as the Telti-Kuruk. Once planted by the Ottomans near Odessa. With the intention of eating it and not drinking it. The Ukrainians prefer to turn that around. Winery Shabo presses a fairly light alcoholic white wine from it

Modest fruit from tropical regions on the nose. Juicy on the palate. You recognize banana and melon. The short wood maturation gives it a fresh bitterness that we mainly know from Italian white wines. Fairly light and short in the aftertaste. A nice introduction to this Ukrainian grape that is completely obscure to us.
