The white wine Ava Marie, vintage 2018 from the winery Restless River Wines has been rated in 2022 by Malu Lambert with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa.
Full of life and vitality. There’s real energy, tension and focus. Careful winemaking, natural fermentation and maturation in oak, showcases the vivid fruit, components of which was also in amphora and stainless steel. Clean, lemon-lime, gunpowder, flint and peach-pip spice. Mineral and weighted on the palate, an undercurrent of soft lemon curd, tangy and fresh with a proper stony acidity and length for days.
