"Ast'up" is the innovative Rosé Spritz from Astoria, the historic winery famous throughout the world for its Prosecco, which is always in step with the times.
An infusion of botanicals and orange peel in alcohol, "Ast'up" was created as a liqueur for making a Spritz, but is a perfect ingredient for various cocktails and mixes.
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
