Tasting

Light straw yellow with brilliant platinic reflections, distinct viscosity, hay flowers, juicy pears, a lot of ripe yellow fruits – all what the sun generated in that year, a touch of honey melon next to a juicy mandarine, very inviting and animating. Delicate residual sugar accompanied by a vibrant fruit performance, balanced, animating acidity – leads to perfect harmony suffused by pears, yellow and ripe tropical fruits and yellow field flowers yet seducing to a large sip. A classic yet state-of-the-art late harvest which carries on a long tradition.

Pairing

Butterbrot mit Pfirsichmarmelade, matcht sich gerne mit dem ebenso klassischen Obstsalat. Vielleicht ein Briochekipferl dazu? „Süße“ Pasta mit Frischkäse und karamellisierten Williamsspalten und Pignoli, Kurkumabiskuitrolle, Rotschmierkäse mit Kernölinjektion, Quittensorbet mit Phaceliahonig, Dattel-Ahornsirup-Müsliriegel, sanftes Tonikum in der „Antialkopop-therapie“, denn das hier ist auch „easy going“ – aber aus einem reinen Naturprodukt!
