Nose
Color: delicate pale yellow
Smell: A fine spicy aroma of grapefruit and white pepper enters into a highly harmonious relationship with ripe peaches.
Taste: With a well-balanced structur and a lively acidity, this delicate and elegant Müller Thurgau is a highly convincing tipple.
Growing Conditions
A mild winter with little snow was followed by a very dry and mild spring. Fortunately, this was followed by a cool and rainy May, so that the urgently needed water reserves could be replenished. The flowering of the vines was slightly delayed by cool temperatures in April and May.
In the warm summer months of June and July there was sufficient precipitation, which led to a slight increase in fungal pressure with peronospora and oidium. However, major losses in yield were avoided thanks to our long years of experience and professional handling. A hot spell in August briefly slowed the ripening of the grapes. Following abundant rainfall at the end of August, the weather remained stable in late summer and was very fine in the fall.
Harvest
The result was a good harvest, which began with the Sauvignon Blanc on September 4.
The 2023 vintage offers fresh, fruity wines with slightly lower levels of alcohol and can be classified as a good to very good vintage.
Winemaking
Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; pressing and clarification of the must; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees in steel tanks for 5-7 months.
Food Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif and also with swordfish carpaccio, poached fish like blue trout, or sea bass in foil; boiled beef with a celeriac purée; fresh alp cheese.
