Vinification

The grapes hang until they are at a very ripe point when they are ready to be harvested. The harvest is done by hand on a very steep slope, and placed into small plastic baskets to then be brought to the winery for the crush. The grapes are immediately placed into a pneumatic press, where they will undergo a soft pressing to remove the juice from the grapes. After the alcohlic fermentation a part remains for 6 months into medium-sized barrels, while the remaining part remains into steel tanks. The blending and bottling will take place in the summer and will age then in bottle for another 6 months before it will be released to the market. 

Tasting notes

Nose: fresh fruits and flowers with undertones of herbs from the Riesling are accompanied by the sent of vanilla and nuances of bread crust.

Palate: full bodied and pleasant, with a good structure and acidity due to the Rhenish clone. The finish is quite remarkable with a soft aromatic notes.
