Ostrozovic - Special Collection - Trilogy 2022
This wine is a delightful blend of Furmint, Lipovina, and Yellow Muscat, all in equal parts. It’s the perfect embodiment of its name: Trilogy.
First things first, let’s talk about the bottle. It’s absolutely stunning, wrapped in a delicate golden netting that’s traditionally used to protect bottles during transport. It’s not just eye candy, though—it hints at the quality inside.
And once you pour the wine? Pure magic. The liquid itself reveals a soft, golden hue that’s as inviting as it is beautiful.
Now, the nose: it’s light to medium in intensity, but what it lacks in punch, it makes up for in complexity. Imagine a fragrant blend of crisp apple, ripe pineapple, juicy nectarine, and sweet yellow melon, with a gentle herbal backdrop that makes you want to keep sniffing and savouring. Honestly, we could spend the entire afternoon just enjoying the aroma, but we’re far too eager for that first sip.
When it hits the palate, Trilogy truly shines. The wine is full-bodied and smooth, with each of the three grape varieties coming through beautifully. You’ll first notice a burst of apples and ripe stone fruits, followed by subtle notes of pomegranate and zesty citrus peel. And as it lingers, a hint of honey adds a touch of sweetness to the mix. The balance between the fruity acidity and the spicy minerality is nothing short of perfection.
The finish? It’s long, smooth, and gently warming, with just a whisper of spice that lingers on the tongue.
Our final verdict? Let’s be real: this wine is f **ing delicious. If you’re looking for something to elevate your day, look no further.
