Between seasons

Summer is knocking on the door and our wine habits tends to change. From winter red to wines more reflecting the colour of the sun. But between the two sheets, there is sort of a transcending period. We've selected a few nice bottles, that you may consider next time wine shopping.  

Tasting notes

Domaine du Pélican Arbois Savagnin Ouillé 2014 - 315 kr

Light golden yellow in colour. Delightful smell of peaces and candied lemons. Intriguing and adventurous on the nose.
Rich and elegant in the mouth. Fantastic, but crazy acidity. Crisp and delightful flavours of lemons and white fruits. One of the cleanest white wines I've ever tasted. Long aftertaste that brings back memories of freshly made summer lemonade. This is outstanding stuff!

PS! Make sure you pick the Savagnin grape. This also comes in a Chardonnay variety. It's good, but this is better.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2016 - 244 kr

Delicate pinkish hue in the clear bottle. Beautiful smell of fresh red berries. Wild raspberries and strawberries from my childhood popps into mind. Hint of apricot as well. 
Subtle entrance in the mouth. Flavours of Norwegian apples and newly crushed red berries. The length of this wine is quite amazing. Especially since it's a rosé, as they tend to be of a more simple affair. The bottle will benefit from some air before drinking. 15-20 min should do the trick. Drink alone, without food is my suggestion. The amazing aftertaste and length is a snack of it's own.

Terroir Al Límit Terra de Cuques 2014 - 319 kr

Deep golden yellow, leaning into orange. Rich smell of orange fruits, sitrus, toasted bread and fresh butter.
Very pleasant in the mouth. Clean and nice. A wine who knows were to go. Taste of apricots, peaches and fresh butter tones. Long and delicate aftertaste. 
Will benefit from some air before drinking. As the one above, 15-20 min should be good.
A different and exiting wine.

DM Rouge 2015 - 154 kr

Brilliant, almost vibrant red i colour. Intense nose of spring flowers, sage and jam of forrest fruits. 
Light, elegant and extremely fruity. It might remind you of a Beaujolais Noveau in style. It causes no harm, plays with your senses and just enjoys being a wine. It's full of red berries, with a medium length and full of desire. This is  wine for those of you who like your red wine slightly chilled. That's when it blossoms.  

Rolet Côtes de Jura Chardonnay 2015 -
199 kr

Straw coloured. Nose of burnt butter and oak. Rich entry to the mouth with flavours of cream, butter and hits of caramel. It's balanced out with enough acidity to make for a fun wine experience. 
Long aftertaste. Take it as an experiment. A fun one!

Jérôme Arnoux Subtil Arbois Poulsard 2015 - 199 kr

Light light red in colour, almost transparent. Cool smell of gun smoke and light red berries such as currants and raspberries. Hints of my grandmothers dirt cellar. All in all the smell might bring images of the wild wild west.
Complex in the mouth. This is a wine that wants a lot. It's fresh, but firm. It's brutal, but in small portions. If you get the picture.. Medium long aftertaste of gun powder and rocks.

Now these tasting notes might not seem very appealing, but try it. It's  VERY fun wine from a VERY interesting wine region in France; Jura.

Domaine de Closel Jalousie Savennière 2015 - 259 kr

Light golden yellow in colour. Super cool smell of french herbs. Especially tarragon stands out. Also nice tone of passion fruits and red berries. One of the more fun bottles to smell in a long time.
Rich and delightful in the mouth. Juicy and very fresh in style. Taste of freshly crushed lemons, mandarins and passion fruits. Delicious and long aftertaste of limonade, that just lasts and lasts. Round and appealing wine that will be a winner when the summer heat strikes. Stack up a few of these, you will not regret ;)
