Comtess 2021 St. Valentin...
Passito Comtess<br />Sanct Valentin 2021<br />Passito is the Italian term for wines that are made from air- and sun-dried, almost rosined grapes. This usually takes place in our vineyard, i.e. the grapes remain on the vine<br />until the end of the year. The elegant Passito Comtess delights with intense fruit, a creamy-soft body, with a long finish and flatters the palate with racy-fresh acidity. The<br />youthful, fresh aromas become increasingly complex with proper bottle ageing and gradually fade into subtle honey notes.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Vine age: 20 years<br />Growing region:<br />Site: vineyard at the foot of Valentin Castle (600m) and in Pinzon/.<br />Montan (330m)<br />Exposure: Southeast / Southwest<br />Soils: Calcareous gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br />Harvest: Mid-December; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: The dried grapes are pressed and fermented and matured partly in steel tanks and partly in small wood.<br />Yield: 20 hl/ha<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol content: 10%.<br />Residual sugar: 260 gr/lt<br />Acidity: 7,35 gr/lt<br />Drinking temperature: 8-10° C<br /><br />Recommended consumption:<br />This fruity dessert wine goes perfectly with blue cheese,<br />but also with fruity desserts like apple strudel, apple pie with vanilla<br />vanilla ice cream or 'Peach Melba'.<br />Cellaring/Potential:<br />10 years and more<br />
