Tasting
Powerful straw yellow with almost neon-coloured reflections, profound viscosity. The fragrance could induce the invention of the word „complex“. Cinnamon, fresh honey, ripe peaches, preserved green nuts, some baking powder, ivy leaves, Taggiasca-olives, fennel blossoms, crackling and so on.
Semi-dry! – so what! For good reason! Paired with that super-juicy, crispy acidity! Backed by a mighty body, powerful, broad, balanced and multi-faceted. A wine to chaw, like a steak, to sip, to smack and enjoy, a wine with enormous density and persistence. Beyond any convention.
Pairing
Cabbage rolls gratinated with sour cream and bacon, salt butter-bread with chopped Macadamia nuts, breaded meat and stewed peaches, bean soup spiced with paprika – of course with bacon, green beans, as well bacon-wrapped, Emmental cheese breaded with Panko, without bacon yet with cranberries, risotto of Österkron with sage and chips of savoy cabagge, sumptous pigeon fond with semolina dumplings, the exclusive wine to accompany Bloody Mary, menuett & rock and roll!
Making
Manual harvesting into small boxes in the middle of October 2019 (2 weeks after the late ripening Cabernet Franc).
Destemming, short maceration period, gentle pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks vor a period of three month, stirring oft he lees for three times.
