Chamlija – Thracian 2014 – Thrace

Youthful colour here, pale straw with a green tinge. The nose is youthful as well. Displaying good purity here with barely ripe fruit. It feels more like a cool climate restrained style with a lemon zest, lime, barely ripe melon and pear. Slight hint of herbs with chopped almond. Medium weight on the palate, but good gripe here with a refreshing acidity, zesty notes, youthful fruit. Still a bit tight in the positive sense, but it should have time to develop over the coming years. Nice mineral notion. Much more cool and restrained style, I would say, in the direction of Chablis. Quite a long and lingering finish. Good drinkability now but should certainly develop quite well.
