Provningsanteckningar

Fruktig, enkel doft med inslag av päron och tutti frutti. Frisk, maffigt fet, lite spritsig, jästaromatisk smak med inslag av mineral, päron, mango och gröna marmeladkulor. Viss sötma i eftersmaken. Ett smakrikt men lite enkelspårigt vin. Kraftfull koncentration som borgar för framtid i vinkällaren.

Druvsammansättning: Grüner veltliner

Mer info om årgången: The Schenkenbichl site has a profound soil profile which includes a rare brownish-black earth. The vines are capable of rooting deeply and absorbing the nutrients and minerals from different soil layers. The airy southern site benefits from warm western winds, which help reduce the possibility of infection from diseases such as mildew. Thus, the grapes stay healthy until late autumn and can therefore be left in the vineyards until they naturally reach their full concentration. After three previous selections the few remaining, extremely ripe grapes were hand-picked into small crates from the end of October to the beginning of November. The grapes were then destemmed, crushed and cold soaked for several hours. After a cool and slow fermentation in big oak barrels this powerful Grüner Veltliner rested on the fine lees in our 700 year-old natural cellar at a constant temperature of 11° Celsius. The wine was bottled in late Spring of the year following the harvest.
