Vintage
The winter months were mainly sunny but very cold. In spring the temperature was slow to rise, and that delayed the vegetative development of the vines. This was only partly compensated by the warm and sunny start to the summer, while the weather in July and August was very varied. The grape harvest accordingly began relatively late, on September 9. The wet September was an organizational problem for our wine growers, but ultimately a very good harvest was completed on October 26.
Tasting notes
– intense, luminescent yellow
– fruity-aromatic odour of ripe peach, mango and coconut milk
– full-bodied in the mouth with copious ripe fruit on the palate, juicy finish
Recommendation
This wine pairs well with light appetizers, grilled fish and also as an aperitif.
Vinification
Whole-cluster pressing of ripe and healthy grapes, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 °C (50 % spontaneous), five-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.
Vineyard
Steep south-/southwest-facing slope at 700 m above sea level with sandy-clayey porphyry weathered soil.
