But I wasn&#8217;t totally sure. If you&#8217;ve never tried <em>Brettanomyces<\/em> in white wine, this might be a wine to check out, because I think it has quite high levels. Why wasn&#8217;t I sure about it? It&#8217;s just so extreme and full-on, a bit like a stinky cheese. Has it gone too far? Well, if you are looking for some casual sipping in front of the TV, yes. But with the right food, this could be a remarkable wine. On balance, I like my orange wines (the name for white wines fermented on their skins like red wines) with less extreme flavours, and a little more prettiness. UK agent is Les Caves de Pyrene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Stoppa Ageno 2009 IGT Emilia, Italy<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol. This is a blend of Malvasia di Candia Aromatico and Trebbiano. Orange\/bronze colour. Amazing nose of tea, ripe peaches, spice and medicine. There\u2019s lovely rich ripe peach fruit but also structure: it\u2019s very grippy, with a phenolic TCP edge as well as floral complexity. Drying finish. Such a challenging wine, but it has lots of interest, and works best with food. Not for everyone. 91\/100 (\u00a325.99 Toast.ED, East Dulwich <a href=\"http:\/\/toastdulwich.co.uk\/\">http:\/\/toastdulwich.co.uk\/<\/a>, Ottolenghi, The Arches)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of those distinctive skin contact white wines that I think I liked quite a lot.
