This elegant wine displays aromas of stone fruit, white flowers and a hint of honey. Because of the longer alcoholic fermentation the flavours are well integrated on the palate and finishes with a crisp acidity.
ageing : Drink within the first two years.
And a few prayers to Mother Nature - The 2013/14 Growing Season We experienced an exceptionally cold and wet winter. This accumulation of cold units is very favourable to ensure an even budburst and an elegant ripening process. During the Winter stage in our vineyards the main focus for the 2013 post-harvest time was to further improve the health of our soil by building life in the soil in the form of bacteria, fungi and earthworms. This was done by composting, cover cropping and by making use of biodynamic preparations. We had very high rainfall in mid-November and also in the beginning of January. Budburst was later this year as the winter seemed to carry on longer. With the initial bud showing we only sprayed a fungi ( Trichoderma specie) onto the buds to protect them by covering the whole area to inhibit any other fungal growth. The results were fantastic and as natural as can be.From the rest of January and mid to end of February the growing season was cool and optimal. There were no excessive heat spikes and the grapes were able to produce sufficient aromatics with a slower ripening period. We started picking about a week and a half later than we would normally. This year we were able to pick at a lower sugar level as the desired aromatics were already achieved at this point.
