Girlan, Vernatsch Fass Nr9, Alto Adige

Forgot I had drunk this and forgot to make a note, but it was lovely.

Strange relationship with this wine. When tried last time was not pleasantly suprised in the moment, but had memories of it being one of my favourite wines afterwards. Bought it again and confirmed same feelings - fresh, fun wine with strawberries, raspberries and red currant, but strange in terms of having a lotof substance. I am not sure it is a great wine, but I personally really like it, its a lot of fun
