Through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved great results.<br />Our vines coped well with both the wet spring and the hot and dry summer, and the golden autumn helped us achieve perfect ripeness. Physiolog-ical ripeness, sugar<br />ripeness and acidity are in perfect balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage.<br />The Golden Muscat grapes were left on the vines until the end of September for perfect maturity. The berries were a golden yellow, the aroma highly intense. At 55 hl per<br />hectare, the yield was low.<br /><br />Winemaking<br /><br />Grapes were de-stemmed and left to macerate in the press for twelve hours to enrich the juice with aroma substances and body leached from the skins. Fermentation took<br />place in oak and stainless steel tanks, partially with yeasts naturally occurring in the vineyard. The young wine was subsequently matured on the fine lees for five months to<br />enable the aromas and flavour to evolve<br /><br /><br />Data<br /><br />Residual sugar: 0.6 g/l<br />Alcohol: 12.5 % Vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation: 5.2 g/l<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br /><br />Intense golden yellow in colour, this seductive wine displays a ravishing floral perfume together with nutmeg, cedar, apricot and grapey fruit supported by a streak of racy,<br />vibrant acidity.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from early summer in 2024 to the end of 2027.<br />Serve: lightly chilled, 46 - 50 °F<br />Delicious as an aperitif it makes a wonderful partner to spicy Chinese and Thai foods or mature hard cheeses.<br /><br />Our claim<br /><br />Biodynamic<br />Respekt-BIODYN<br />Vegan<br />
