The variety has small leaves and is densely leafy, the clusters are small, compact and cylindrical, the berries have a spicy-intense flavor.
Flavour explosion from the first second. Tobacco, chamomile and above all lovage. Pineapple & sweet roasted aromas are added with air. Gripping on the palate with a lot of grip. The acidity provides a lot of tension and drinking flow, despite all the power of the wine. Highly ripe white currant and again many herbs. Eternal and precise reverberation. Enormous ripening potential – a monument. (Thomas Schabl, diploma sommelier)
The variety has small leaves and is densely leafy, the clusters are small, compact and cylindrical, the berries have a spicy-intense flavor.
Overripe, partly shriveled berries or parts of grapes - free of botrytis, but with high sugar levels - are selected by hand. The naturally concentrated berries are gently pressed with a punch press and then spontaneously fermented in traditional small wooden barrels. This fermentation lasts up to one year and leaves a natural sugar residue. Only after further aging for several months in stainless steel tanks and small Hozl barrels plus several years of rest in the bottle, this rare selection comes to maturity.
Only in exceptional years with warm, dry autumn weather do the grapes of those vines come to the desired over-ripeness, which are rooted almost directly on the meager Opok of our vineyards.
It goes well with spicy Asian dishes, but also as a solo wine it gives great pleasure to the palate.
