GAJA Rossj-Bass 2020
First produced in 1988, GAJA Rossj-Bass is a blend of Chardonnay (95%) and Sauvignon Blanc (5%) from the Treiso and Serralunga vineyards. Fermented in steel and aged in oak for 6 months, the 2020 Rossj-Bass offers fresh and sweet flavours of white melon and white nectarine peach combined with elder and jasmine blossom on the nose. This wine opens up on the palate to citrus fruits and fresh hints of menthol (reminiscent of pepper mint) around a steely core of laser sharp acidity. A vibrant wine, with a firm texture noticeable along the entire centre of the tongue with a crisp, lingering finish.
