Petro Vaselo - 'Alb'

The Petro Vaselo winery is situated in the far - western part of Banat, Romania, just a few miles outside Timisoara. This 'Alb' white wine is an exciting blend of 75% Chardonnay and Welshriesling (also known as Italian Riesling), a grape variety popular in Austria and Eastern Europe. Although Austrians are well - known for this blend, the Romanian winemakers at Petro Vaselo have crafted an excellent version. The grapes are carefully handpicked, sorted, and fermented in stainless - steel tanks for 20 days. The Welshriesling grapes are fermented with their skins on. This young wine showcases bright characteristics. It has a straw - yellow color and offers tropical fruit and floral acacia scents on the nose. The body has a nice weight typical of Chardonnay, with a sharp, peachy flavor and a herbal undertone, along with a long - lasting finish. It's a truly lovely wine from a unique grape combination! Ideal to pair with vegetable curry.

To enjoy this Petro Vaselo 'Alb' white wine, simply chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to appreciate the aroma. Sip slowly to savor the tropical fruit and floral notes. When it comes to pairing, vegetable curry is a great choice as it complements the wine's peachy and herbal flavors. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can affect its taste. If you have any leftover wine, cork it tightly and store it in the fridge. It should still be good for a day or two, but the flavor might change slightly over time.
