Fully ripe, picture perfect grapes with 20% noble botrytis, hand-selected in the mid-October. Slow fermentation with grapes’ own, "wild" yeast in a traditional 1000 l “fuder” barrel. Complex wine, with luscious, “juicy” Riesling fruit wrapped around a firm backbone of crisp, acidity. Nice minerality with a hint of smokiness. Rich, balanced sweetness and concentrated, yet very elegant. Pairs well with spicy foods and fruit based desserts. Excellent with soft rind, hard aged and blue cheeses.
