GD Vajra

This Moscato from the team at Vajra is pale yellow, with a delicate fizz which is persistent and creamy. The wine has aromas of stone fruit - apricots and peach - with citrus, followed by herbal notes. The palate is semi-sweet and lightly frothing.

Great depth of colour with the lovely herbal berry notes characteristic of good Dolcetto. Red, black and blueberries with a touch of dried summer herbs such as marjoram and thyme follow through to the palate where the solid tannic structure of this variety gives structure and weight to the berry fruit character.

This wine has great structure supporting the ripe strawberry fruit and soft leather character. The palate has lovely depth, rounded tannis and fine acidity keeping the juicy fruit in check. The elegant finish rounds off with a red fruit note.

Le Albe is made from fruit from younger vines and therefore is slightly lighter in style than Aldo Vajra‘s ‘Bricco delle Viole‘ Barolo. Ruby/garnet in colour, with a lovely forward perfume of autumn fruit,

Good depth of ruby red colour with an intense perfume of damsons and chocolate. On the palate it has great concentration and intensity, especially on the mid-palate, with smoky, plummy fruit and lovely balance between supple tannins and youthful acidity.

It is a beautiful wine graced with tons of delineation and sheer intensity. The aromas and flavors build effortlessly to a hugely impressive, dazzling finish. The 2007 shows the volume and depth of the vintage, but with the expressive bouquet and overall harmony that define the finest wines of the year.
