Cantina Terlan A. A. Terlaner NOVA DOMUS Riserva DOC 2020

Luca Gardini 97 points

“Fruit of a selection of the best Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon grapes, a breathtaking blend. It has a compact, taut nose with scents of candied cedar, eucalyptus and a slightly almondy finish. The palate impresses with a refined savouriness and a fresh, citrusy finish.” LUCA GARDINI

“A beautiful, delicious white wine where the chalky, mineral underpinnings combine harmoniously with aromas of ripe Gala apple, nectarine, almond blossom and pickled ginger. Long and velvety in texture, with a lovely floral finish.”WINE SPECTATOR

“A rich and complex bouquet with glazed peaches, ripe mangoes, crushed walnuts and pie crust. Also a hint of dried flowers. Full-bodied, taut and mineral with a chalky texture that gives it structure and length. Nice acidity that holds its nerve and leads to a long, energetic finish.” JAMES SUCKLING

“The Terlaner Riserva Nova Domus 2020 needs time to come into focus. It starts smoky and mineral. When you swirl it, it unfolds its hidden charm: sweet chamomile and mint give way to apples with lime and spices. It floods the palate with an opulent, silky texture that seems almost heavy, but is balanced by a mineral acidity boost, while young peach and nectarine notes linger. The 2020 finishes on a spicy, almost salty note.” VINOUS

“Vibrant elderflower, flowers and herbs with a round, juicy texture and a seductive acid core. Very long and elegant.” DECANTER
