Vino della Pace 2010

I had previously blogged about this winemade of 600+ varietals, which I tasted at last year's wine fair. They had two bottles only on show and they promised to let me have the bottles for the labels when I returned to them at the end of the show. I turned up within half an hour of the end and the stand was deserted, but these two bottles were still left amongst the "debris" of the show. The left hand on was already empty when I tasted the wine earlier in the morning, but to my surprise, there was still nearly half a bottle left of the bottle I had tried. Obviously a wine made from so many grapes from all the corners of the earth, grown in the Vineyard of the World is not of general interest to many. I took the bottles and later enjoyed the contents with my family. Although there are many grapes of many skin colours in the vineyard, they were obviously pressed and fermented as a white wine. There must be a teinturier grape or two in the mix I suppose (which means the juices of some grapes are actually pink or even red) but this will be diluted out in the final mix. The wine was a pale gold, with a sweet fruity nose. It was semi-sweet on the palate with fruity notes and an acid backbone following through to the finish.
