G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso 2014

Medium ruby color. Nose of flowers, red berries, earth, then sweet spices. You can also feel freshness and a light bitterness coming out of the aromas. Same profile on the palate with a good acidity level, a fine and enjoyable bitterness on the finish, but the fruit is so chewy and tasty and makes this wine highly drinkable. I found it better at bottle opening as it was more crisp after some time. Enjoy it now of after a short cellaring time. Very good (89)

Made of Barbera 40 %, Dolcetto 25 %, Nebbiolo 25 %, Freisa, Albaroaas and Pinot Noir. The ageing last from 18 to 24 months, partly in tanks and in “pièces” of one to three wines. Alcohol level of 13%

Available at the SAQ for 21,95$ (Code SAQ : 12464953)

G.D. Vajra Petracine Riesling Langhe 2010 

Light yellow color with green hue. The wine is screaming its variety of Riesling on the nose with citrus fruit and pine tree aromas. Bright, fresh, dry, salty on the palate with an almost rocky feel and a touch of bitterness on the finish. Feels young and will probably be even better with more cellaring time. Very good (89)

Made of Riesling from vines planted in 1885 of german and alsacian root stock. Aged up to 8 months in stainless tanks. Alcohol level of 12%
