WTN: Awesome Refosco

by Saina » Tue Dec 14, 2010 4:13 pm

Čotar Teran 2007 - Kras, Slovenia; 28,80€; 11% abv
Very dark red, almost purple rim. But instead of a Barossa lookalike, a monstrosity of purplosity, this is its antithesis. The scent is a bit out of the mainstream but is lovely: lots of sour, lactic aromas and bright, fresh red berries with a bit of something greenish/herbaceous thrown in. The delicious sourness continues on the palate. It has wonderful acidity, great purity of fruit, and though sour and strongly structured, it never becomes hard. In fact, it is outstandingly moreish. It was perfection with a snack of serrano. And it was also nice to get a red with so much of everything in it with so little alcohol!

Otto,

This one sounds like a wine I have to find.
Thanks

Eric, I could well imagine you would enjoy it - funny you should reply to this thread because I was thinking while drinking that if you would grow Teran, the result would be something like this. :)

Rahsaan, nothing other than a liking for excruciatingly bad puns - something I, perhaps mistakenly, thought several over there enjoyed as well.
