Baltasis p. sausas
The soil structure of this Grand Cru is essentially made up of Oligocene conglomerates and lattorfian interbedded marl. This wine comes from two very old vineyards located in the middle of the Grand Cru (average age of the vines 65 years). Fermentations are very slow, and the wines spend a minimum of 6 months on the total lees. The wines are bottled between 12 and 24 months after the harvest. Bright gold colour. The nose shows big flavours, not shy at all and it announces a nice ripeness and concentration on the palate. There is a mix of ripe exotic fruits and delicate flowers on the palate, but also big unmistakable limestone characteristic in terms of spices and minerals. This is a rich wine that shows a firm structure where tannins and sweetness play together. Very long finish, velvety, not too sweet at all, built to age!
Serve at 12-14 °C with Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese dishes or with desserts.
This gewurz is built on a monumental scale with gigantic concentration and structure, easily filling out the huge body. The abundant fine tannins soak up almost all of the unfermented grape sweetness and drive the very long and texturally complex, spicy finish. Already pretty mind-blowing, but great aging potential! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
