<br /><br />The AMOS cuvée shows the terroir potential of the high Kurtatsch sites. AMOS is composed of the best hand-picked white grapes from the coolest vineyards between 600<br />and 900 metres above sea level.<br /><br />It is precisely this interplay of varieties and sites that makes AMOS so unique in character and style. In order to preserve the mountain freshness, barriques were not used.<br />The long fine yeast storage in large wood provides additional complexity. The neutral Burgundy varieties form the compact foundation (70%) Kerner and Sauvignon give the<br />wine its seductive bouquet of white peach, apricot, blossom and citrus fruit. The result is a very complex, incomparable cuvée.<br />AMOS: the mountain wine.<br /><br />Grape variety: Pinot Blanc - Chardonnay - Pinot Grigio - Kerner - Sauvignon.<br />Vinification: Separate harvest and fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by blending and fine yeast ageing for 15 months in large oak<br />barrels.<br />Alcohol: 14.0 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.2 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 1,9 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 40 hl<br />Optimal drinking maturity: 2-8 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

South Tyrol DOC 2015<br />WINE DESCRIPTION<br />Our crystal-clear AU Chardonnay Riserva, shimmering in dark straw yellow, initially unfolds a mineral scent of flint and walnut. Gradually, a bundle of aromas of yellow,<br />exotic fruits and flowers enriches the complex bouquet. On the palate, this wine is intense and juicy, in dialogue with a pleasant acidity and fine tannin. It demonstrates its<br />full body and balance with a clear persistence on the finish.<br />SOIL CONDITIONS AND INFLUENCE ON THE WINE<br />Strong loamy sand as well as a high lime and salt content dominate the loose and very deep moraine soil of the Vigna AU. At just under 5%, the humus content is<br />considerable. The considerable clay content results in pleasantly high acidity levels in the Chardonnay grapes and in the wine. The high lime content supports the ripening of<br />yellow fruit notes.<br />HARVEST AND VINIFICATION<br />The grapes are harvested when they have reached phenolic maturity and a balanced sugar-acid ratio. After gentle pressing, the must is left to ferment spontaneously in<br />small oak barrels. On the yeast, the young wine undergoes biological acid degradation. After one year, the wine is brought together and naturally clarified in steel tanks for<br />half a year. At the appropriate moon phase, the AU Chardonnay Riserva is bottled and matures for another year in the bottle.<br /><br />100 % Chardonnay<br />10 - 12 °C<br />Alcohol = 14 %vol<br />Total acidity = 6.1 g/litre<br />Residual sweetness = 0.7 g/litre<br />
