2021 Passionate Wines Via Revolucionaria Semillon Hulk [WA92]

"The 2019 Via Revolucionaria Semillon Hulk was first produced in 2011 and was so "green" they nicknamed it Hulk. It's a Semillon from Tupungato from vines planted in 1955, and it fermented in concrete egg, where it's kept for four months. It's unfiltered and cloudy and has a strong medicinal nose. It's pressed directly, as if it were a base wine for a sparkling wine, and even though the nose has notes reminiscent of stems, it doesn't have any stems; the juice ferments on its own. After a short time in the glass, the white flowers appear and the wine starts gaining complexity. The palate is light and has pungent flavors, with a characteristic salty twist in the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This 100% hand harvested Semillon is from a single vineyard in the Tupungato region of the Uco Valley. The lower alcohol wine has a fresh light green hue with notes of lemon, key lime, jasmine, and white flowers with an underlying and persistent layer of crushed wet limestone. The wine is vibrant and bright yet smooth on the palate showing fruit flavors as well as earth tones of dry leaves. Clean, crisp, engaging, and refreshing."
