Yes, €30 is a lot to pay for any wine, but in my book Gaia Wild Ferment is worth every cent. This is a unique and wonderful wine, made from vines buried in bare volcanic soils and trained into a basket shape to provide potection from the wind. The Gaia version is a completely seductive mix of floral aromas, rich creamy nectarine fruits and grilled hazelnuts, balanced perfectly by a crisp linear acidity. A must-try wine.
