Comtess 2018 St. Valentin...
Passito is the Italian term for wines that are made from air- and sun-dried, almost rosin-treated grapes. Here, this usually takes place in the vineyard, i.e. the grapes remain<br />on the vine until the end of the year. The elegant Passito Comtess delights with intense fruit, a creamy-soft body, with a long finish and flatters the palate with racy-fresh<br />acidity. The youthful, fresh aromas become increasingly complex with proper bottle ageing and gradually fade into subtle ho-ny notes.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Vine age: 20 years<br />Growing area: Site: Vineyards at the foot of Valentin Castle (600m) and in Pinzon/Montan (330m) Exposure: South-east / south-west Soils: Calcareous gravel soil Method of<br />cultivation: Guyot<br />Harvest: End of December; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: The dried grapes are pressed and fermented and aged partly in steel tanks and partly in small wood.<br />Yield: 20 hl/ha<br />Analytical data: Alcohol content: 11.5% Residual sugar: 178 gr/lt Acidity: 6.80 gr/lt<br />Drinking temperature: 8-10° C<br />Recommended consumption: This fruity dessert wine goes perfectly with blue cheese, but also with fruity desserts such as apple strudel, apple pie with vanilla ice cream or<br />'Peach Melba'.<br />Storage/Potential:10 years and more<br />
