Shabo Grande Reserve Telti-Kuruk

Telti Kuruk is one of the few indigenous grapes from Ukraine. Originally from Turkey, it's not highly valued there. The Shabo Winery does this by fermenting it in oak and then aging it for another year. This results in a truly remarkable wine.

The moment you touch the glass, you recognize the oak aging: sultry notes of vanilla and biscuit. Fresh citrus and banana intersperse throughout. On the palate, it's unexpectedly fresh. Not oily, but rather slender and tart. Mineral, too. Tastes of apple, kiwi, and butterscotch.
