The
wines made from the estate grapes of Ab Astris have been perhaps one of the
most eagerly awaited ones in the Hill County.
Behold their Clairette Blanche! Pick your favorite astonishing words,
but “wow”, “man”, and “OMG” are just the beginning of descriptions of this
lovely white wine. If their tasting room
smelled like this grape, you may not ever leave. By the way, if the winery sold
a candle that smelled like this wine, it would be a repeat buy. A lovely bouquet of apple and apricot will
certainly delight your nose. Follow that with bright apple, rich flavors of
melon and papaya and you know that this white wine jewel is one to savor with
every sip. Add to those tasting sensations a touch of minerality and you know
you have a winner in your glass. This
white wine just might be your “best friend” to hide out with through the Texas
summer. Cheers!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
