Lemon, chalk, seashells - classic Gravonia territory. But listen, this has opened up beautifully over the past year: acacia honey now, not just tilia, more floral depth coming through. Oak and green hazelnut still anchoring everything, firm mineral backbone doing the work. The palate has proper concentration and excellent fruit quality. Long, detailed finish that just keeps unfolding. More or less the same wine, but more comfortable with itself now. This is why you cellar these whites - they reward patience without losing that characteristic tension.

Thanks to Lo Bar, I've had my fair share of fresh Gravonia, yet some friends still haven't had the pleasure, so I decided to share a bottle from my personal stash. It's as lovely and gorgeous as ever. There's a special joy in watching newcomers experience this wine for the first time. The nose presents a captivating mix of lemon, chalk, and seashells, enriched by the sweet scent of tilia honey and a hint of spice. Oak and green hazelnut add further depth and complexity. On the palate, it showcases concentrated flavours with exceptional fruit quality, supported by a firm mineral backbone. The finish is long and detailed, leaving an utterly delicious and lasting impression. Simply delightful!
