Veliko Belo 2011
As beautiful and entertaining as a kaleidoscope, Veliko Belo shows colorful facets marked by sweet peach, golden apple, lemon oil, chamomile, caramel, and flint. The unctuous and rich palate allies itself with the flavors and pushes to a finish that hints at pleasant bitter notes of toasted nuts and fruit pith. An impressively vibrant and harmonious wine with sheer refreshment and salinity in its finish. Elevate the epicurean
experience by drinking this alongside mango salad, braised tofu, falafel, roasted pork, baked scallop, or chicken with a creamy sauce.
