KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"This wine opens with aromas of a lemon orchard in full bloom alongside cut green pears, candied lemon peel and acacia. It is light and fresh with an energy and vitality that ignites the senses. Flavors of green apple, lemon with a slight pithy bitterness that balances the fruitiness of the wine. On the finish, the complexity of the wine shines as a crushed-stone minerality is lifted by the mouthwatering and electric acidity that keeps each sip refreshing. — Jeff PORTER"

"Light straw color. The Lugana Blanco reveals pleasant scents of grapefruit. It's a bright, fresh clean wine with good flavor concentration of quince, citrus, and herbs. It finishes with excellent length. Made from the Turbiano grape, a clone of Trebbiano di Lugana."

"Trebbiano is a white grape usually made into cheap, innocuous wines. The Ottella is neither. Rather, it is an example of what the grape can be when the viticulture is careful. With apricot and quince flavors, plus a little tangerine and lemon thyme, the wine is ideal for a weekend brunch on the patio or a first course of seafood salad. This is new to the D.C.-area market, but I hope it becomes a standard. 12.5 percent."
