Traminer Spätlese Rust 2005

Traminer Spätlese Rust

Tasting

Light straw yellow, complex fragrance of sun-ripened yellow fruits, roses, whole bunch of spices, clear and animating. Freshly picked flowers, greengage. Young and beautiful. Pleasant fruit-supported sweetness in the upper Spätlese-range. Accompanied by sufficient acidity. Aroma-explosion on the palate. Nectarines, yellow roses, fresh leeches. Crystal clear with an addictiveness not to be underestimated.

Pairing

Sorbets with fruit-spice-combinations as for example large-fruited blackthorn with cloves etc., delicate red mould cheese paired with chutneys, small goose liver balls covered with spices, goat cheese affinated almost to an “illegal” extent, as refreshment at a “ladies` meeting”.

Making

Hand-picked into small boxes, destemming, 6 hours of maceration, gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, interruption of fermentation by chilling and filtration, exclusively steel-tank contact.
