Maturation

The grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure that only the best and ripest grapes find their way into the wine. This process usually takes place in September, when the grapes are optimally ripe. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the fine must. Only a minimal amount of sulphites is added to preserve the purity of the must. The red fermentation then takes place in steel tanks, which enables controlled and even fermentation. Maceration takes place together with the skins of the grapes, whereby the must and skins are in contact for several months. This process lasts about 2 months and allows the wine to extract the desired colour and flavour from the skins. This important phase occurs spontaneously. During malolactic fermentation, lactic acid bacteria convert the harsh malic acid into the softer lactic acid, giving the wine a rounder and more harmonious flavour profile. After fermentation, the wine is aged in amphorae, which give it subtle, earthy and mineral notes. The wine then continues to mature in steel tanks, where it continues to develop and refine. In total, this maturation phase lasts 10 months.
After maturing in amphorae and steel tanks, the wine is bottled and then rests further in the bottle. This additional time in the bottle ensures that the wine develops its full aromatic potential and complexity before it is released.
Before final bottling, the wine is lightly filtered to remove any impurities, while preserving the natural aromas and structures. This comprehensive and carefully monitored process results in a beautiful and complex wine that reflects the dedication and craftsmanship of the winemaker.

Scent

The aroma of this wine unfolds in a fascinating and sensual cascade of scents:
First, you'll encounter lush and enticing notes of ripe yellow peaches. These fruity aromas give the wine a pleasant sweetness and fruitiness, reminiscent of warm summer days. The bouquet seamlessly transitions into the refreshing and invigorating citrus aromas of juicy limes. These notes bring a crisp acidity and zesty freshness that harmoniously complements the aromatic character of the peach. In the background, a gentle, sweet honey note resonates, adding depth and complexity to the wine. This subtle sweetness of honey rounds off the fragrance profile and gives the wine a luxurious and seductive touch. The interplay of these fragrances – juicy-sweet peaches, refreshing lime and fine honey – makes smelling this wine a pure pleasure and prepares the palate for an equally rich and complex taste experience.

Taste

The taste of this wine is impressively balanced, revealing a harmonious equilibrium between acidity and sweetness. Right from the start, it delights with a juicy fruitiness reminiscent of ripe yellow peaches and apricots. These rich, fruity aromas give the wine a pleasant sweetness and a full, opulent texture. The zesty freshness of citrus elements, especially the vibrant lime, perfectly complements the fruity notes, bringing brightness and vibrancy to the taste and providing a pleasant, crisp acidity. This freshness is a vital component of the wine and makes it particularly refreshing and invigorating. A subtle and delicate sweetness of honey also resonates, giving the wine an additional dimension of elegance and refinement. This light honey note is harmonious and adds depth and complexity to the taste, while subtly counteracting the fruity and citrus components.
The wine finishes with a remarkably soft and pleasant aftertaste, which beautifully combines the taste components in harmony and leaves a lasting, positive impression. The well-balanced finish makes you want to take another sip and ensures a rounded, satisfying wine experience.

Serving suggestion

This exquisite wine best unfolds its excellent qualities when paired with a variety of culinary delights. It not only harmonizes wonderfully with delicate appetizers and refined fish dishes, but also masterfully accompanies elaborate first courses and matured cheese specialities. The interaction with tender light meat and traditionally cooked meat underlines its versatility. It is also particularly noteworthy that it complements dishes refined with fine truffles, raising the enjoyment to an incomparable level.
