2009 Terzolo Teran Istria Croatia

SKU #1087205 Wine Enthusiast

 Striking acidity adds verve to the ripe blackberry and sour cherry flavors. The medium-bodied palate is tangy, but hints of rose petal and green herb give it softness.  (12/ 2012)

K&L Notes

100% Terlan, from the Red Karst (Terra Rossa) soils of the northwestern part of Croatia's Istrian peninsula, made by master winemaker Moreno Coronica. As to be expected, this Terlan is inky dark in the glass with an opacity that is almost suggestive of syrup, but you will be surprised to find that it is light and dry on the palate, with moderate alcohol (12.8% abv) and fresh, balanced acidity. It offers distinctive tart red berry and herbal aromas and flavors (Terlan is also valued for its medicinal properties) around an ferrous mineral backbone. Traditionally paried with hearty Croatian cuisine, this is an ideal compliment with cured meats, stews, and blood sausages.

This wine was a revelation to me, my first from the Teran grape variety and a real eye-opener to the wonderful red wines of Istria. The color is dark, the flavor is ferrous and sanguine, salty and animal. Electric and vibrant on the finish, it is one of the few really mineral reds I've tried. The Terzolo Teran woke me up and should be tried by every lover of wines of character.
