Tasting

Sparkling golden yellow, rich traces of viscosity on the glass, delicate notes of honey, an aroma as if Welschriesling would directly descent from yellow peaches, underpinned by notes of passion fruit, pineapple and stewed apricot – simply delicious. Noble sweetness combined with a really racy acidity, soft peach skin, aromatic yellow fruit flesh, continuously juicy and like a noble piece of jewellery, totally on the reductive side, vivacious and backed by most delicate hints of blossom honey; if allowed shows a marvellous ageing potential.

Pairing

Peach tart, honey sorbet with pineapple flambee, Dolcelatte with pear bread, sweet pasta with stewed apricots & caramel pignoli, precious fruit chocolates, to accompany profound monologues and help conduct the New Years Concert.

Making

Hand-picked  end of October 2005 into small boxes by hand; 3 weeks after harvesting the fresh berries for the dry Welschriesling.

Crushing, 4 hours of maceration in the tank press, pressing, fermentation and maturation in stainless steel.
