Tasting Notes
Aroma
Fine aromas of stone fruit and dried apple slices. Elegant
extract sweetness and racy acidity.
Appearance
Golden hue with green reflections. Pronounced tears.
Palate
Very salty with enormous tension; a juicy, velvety – and vibrating - texture.
Concentrated with light-footed alcohol and notes of fresh apricot, lemon, dried seaweed, green olive, and artichoke
lending to a vegetal tone. A long sweet-tart finish.

Vintage Notes
With some ups and downs, the 2023 vintage wasn’t just good – it was very good. After a dry
Winter and rainy April and May, flowering began a little late this year - in mid-June - and was
complete already after just 10 days of perfect weather conditions. Summer had a dry start –
but the rain and cooler days at the beginning of August were optimal for the development of
the grapes. We began harvesting on 7 September, but were caught by surprise with a heavy
thunder- and hailstorm in mid-September. Thankfully, we got off lightly, and were able to
complete the harvest on 18 October - happy and satisfied with this 2023 vintage!
Food Matching
