Vintage: the weather conditions make the 2019 viticultural year a challenge for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool<br />April and May. After flowering, which did not occur until June, the weather situation turned around and it became hot and dry. Late summer delayed the ripening of the<br />grapes with some rainfall and below-average temperatures. Harvesting of the healthy grapes began in early September and continued until the end of October.<br />Tasting notes: bright yellow, fruity aroma of ripe peach, mango and coconut milk, full mouthfeel with lots of ripe fruit on the palate, juicy finish.<br /><br />Recommendation: try it as an aperitif, with light starters, summer salads, asparagus dishes, grilled fish or with mild sliced and fresh cheeses!<br /><br />Vinification: Whole cluster pressing of ripe and above all perfectly healthy grapes, 18-hour maceration, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature of 18 °C (approx. 50% spontaneous fermentation in large wooden barrels), 5-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.<br /><br />Vineyard:Steep south/south-western slope at 700 m above sea level with sandy-loamy porphyry weathered soil.<br /><br />Grape variety: Kerner<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 30 years<br />Drinking temperature: 10 - 12 °C<br />Yield: 65 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: wire frame + pergola<br />Alcohol: 14,0 %<br />Residual sugar: 4,0 g/l<br />Acidity: 6,4 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />
