Getting to 200 wines by years end is feeling increasingly impossible but I will knuckle down and plow ahead. Today is a grape called Favorita. This wine is as green in color as the picture shows. It has the faintest hint of carbonation that passes quickly but does push a lovely floral aroma out of the bottle. The wine itself doesn't hold up to the promise of the nose, instead presenting a surprisingly dry and acidic profile. The finish is a bit hot but I wasn't trying this wine chilled which I suspect would be the best idea... All in all it is quite a nice grape although like many at this stage in the quest increasingly hard to find.
