Festejar! Blanc

Serhii poured this blind just to torture me. Mission accomplished, the bastard.

Fuck me, completely wrong-footed. Was convinced it was some Loire Chenin - half-right, but turns out there's also Chardonnay from Auvergne and Sylvaner from Alsace in here (or so Serhii tells me - impossible to verify this madness online). Cooked onions, quince and pear jam, cinnamon. Intensely oxidative and bright, with this bitter-sweet tension that actually works. Buttery weight carries it all. Confusing as hell but properly delicious.
