VINTAGE:
2019

MORE INFORMATION:
Colour: Crisp, clear and vibrant with hues of lime- green and golden straw. Bouquet: Uncomplicated, but certainly not boring, notes of creamy citrus, Golden Delicious apple and ripe quince. Taste: A rich warmth of creamy fruit-flavours, reminiscent of sun-ripened prickly pears, adds body to the freshness the wine gets from hints of tangy lime, Granny Smith apple and green pears. A friendly mid-palate gives rise to a succulent and lengthy aftertaste. Ageing potential: Ready to drink now, but the wine will gain in complexity and character with another one to two years of cellaring. Residual sugar: 4.6 g/l Total acidity: 6.0 g/l pH: 3.63 Total extract: 26.5 g/l Volatile acidity: 0.42 g/l Total SO2: 122 ppm (at release)

Really enjoyable on its own but a few suggestions for pairings would be: ✓ Grilled sole with caper sauce ✓ Creamy chicken pasta with lemon zest ✓ Tempura fish strips with minted peas ✓ Veal schnitzel ✓ Bacon & avocado ringer with crispy onion rings ✓ Flammkuchen
