Typology

IGT

Grape variety

A wine from the old pre-phylloxera tradition: Jassarte. Made from a field blend of 30 different grape varieties.

Maturation

This wine is made from a field blend of 30 different grape varieties. The vineyard is carefully harvested in several passes, with each batch selected according to its ripeness. The grapes are processed by hand to express the special characteristics of each variety and the terroir. The wine then matures for about 24 months in used wood and is stirred weekly to ensure even development. Before bottling, the wine is lightly clarified but not filtered. The different batches are then blended to reflect the unique character of the vineyard. The wine is then stored in stainless steel tanks for another 3-4 months before aging in the bottle for at least 12 months under optimal conditions.

Scent

The olfactory experience conveys a fascinating and multi-layered world of wine aromas. The inviting, gracefully fragrant nose reveals a concert of:
Juicy black cherries: The dark fruitiness brings depth and a certain weightlessness to the fragrance.
Delicate red berries: These add a fine, fresh note and provide complexity.
Sweet plums: Complementing the cherries, the plum brings additional sweetness and richness.
In addition to these dominant fruit aromas, you can also discover finer nuances:
Subtle notes of incense and fine spices: These underline the aroma landscape with a mystical and warm spice.
A hint of white pepper: A touch of spiciness that keeps the bouquet exciting and dynamic.
The profile is complemented by refreshing accents:
Nuances of mint: The fresh, cooling note ensures liveliness and balance.
Tender appeal of tobacco: Slightly earthy, tart notes offer a beautiful finish and depth to the overall aroma.
Overall, this wine offers a harmonious interplay of fruit, spice and freshness, making it a special treat.

Taste

On the palate, this wine unfolds with an impressive freshness that immediately attracts attention. This fruity prelude is accompanied by a bouquet of fully ripe fruits - one involuntarily thinks of juicy black cherries, lush plums and a hint of cassis, which are enjoyably interwoven. The perfected balance between a velvety texture and a distinctive, yet finely integrated tannin structure creates a framework of harmonious elegance and intense density that virtually dances on the tongue. As the wine slowly, almost tenderly, moves across the palate, a finish of remarkable length and complexity takes place. The aftertaste is characterized by a delicate interplay of fruit nuances and subtle spicy undertones, which leave a lasting impression and take the taster on a promising journey of discovery of taste. Here, an extraordinary class and the highest degree of winemaking announce themselves, which can capture the senses in a moment of pure enjoyment.

Serving suggestion

The wine is an outstanding accompaniment to exquisite dishes, offering an impeccable balance to the intense flavors of foods such as:
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic
Tenderly marinated beef fillet with a spicy red wine sauce
Roasted duck breast, accompanied by a fruity orange or raspberry sauce
Refined vegetable risotto, refined with mushrooms and truffle
The fully ripe fruit notes of the wine allow for an ideal harmony with the strong aromas of these dishes. Whether with or without food, this wine offers a remarkably refreshing and at the same time profound taste experience. For the best taste experience, this wine should be served at a temperature of around 16-18°C to bring out the full bouquet and rich aromas.
