Tasting note
The wine has an attractive lemon-yellow-green color with a complex nose of citrus, white peach, pineapple, spices, citrus blossoms, apricot and buttered toast. The taste is long and elegant with a lively minerality.
Culinary recommendation
Fantastic wine with porcini mushroom risotto with sous vide cooked egg.
Vinification
The grapes were pressed as whole bundles and without skin contact. With some clarification, the juice was bottled into 30% new French oak barrels (Francois Frère, Dargaud & Jägle) and 70% second and third filled barrels for alcoholic fermentation. The spontaneous start of fermentation was taken into account and after 7 days, the barrels were inoculated with a pure yeast strain. Fermentation took about 15 days - after the sugar had fermented, all 50 barrels were refilled. Only a third of the barrels were allowed to complete malolactic fermentation in order to maintain optimal acid/freshness content. The young wine was left on the fine yeast with regular batonage for 8 months.
