Eiswein Kracher 375ml 2018

Eiswein Kracher 375ml 2018

Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the Danube<br />River. The presence of this river together with Lake Neusiedl creates a warm humid climate ideal for the formation of noble rot on the grapes produced in the area. Kracher is<br />based in Illmitz, on the Hungarian border, and has been run since 2007 by Alois' son Gerhard Kracher, with the help of his wife Yvonne: it is Austria's leading winery for<br />sweet wines. The varieties used are Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Scheurebe, Muskat-Ottonel, and in some vintages also Zweigelt. Kracher harvests and vinifies<br />small batches, using a number series to distinguish them: a higher number corresponds to a higher sugar concentration in the wine. Two types of wine are produced: Cuvée,<br />sweet wines of medium concentration, Beerenauslese and Eiswein; Kollektion, very concentrated sweet wines produced according to two different methods: Zwischen den<br />Seen (traditional with fermentation in steel or wooden barrels) and Nouvelle Vague (modern with the use of new barriques). WEINLAUBENHOF KRACHER has also started a<br />collaboration with the Liliac Winery in Transylvania, in order to exploit the climatic peculiarities of the Lechinta region that are optimal for the production of Eiswein.<br /><br />Variety: Welschriesling<br /><br />Vineyards: Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the<br />River Danube. The presence of this river together with Lake Neusiedl creates a warm humid climate ideal for the formation of noble rot on the grapes produced in the area.<br /><br />Vinification: fermentation and ageing in stainless steel tanks.<br /><br />Characteristic properties: The Eiswein of Weinlaubenhof Kracher is lively and linear, clean on the palate and characterised by a finish in which pineapple and peach notes<br />stand out. The great balance makes it a wine that is hard to resist. Simply delicious.<br />

The winter season passed with mild temperatures and low rainfall. These<br />conditions led to an early spring. From the second week of April, the weather changed dramatically and until mid-May, rain was the protagonist with temperatures below<br />average. These weather conditions compromised the flowering and were the cause of spinning of the wings of the bunches and floral dripping, resulting in smaller, more<br />sparse bunches with very low average weights. After 15 May we saw a clear improvement in the weather conditions which allowed us to set fruit in favourable conditions.<br />Above-average temperatures characterised the month of June, which can be described as the driest in the last 20 years. The dry weather continued until mid-July with the<br />vines beginning to show symptoms of water stress. The beginning of August brought us the much-desired rain, effectively saving the season.<br />From 20 August, with the start of the harvest, temperatures returned to normal and the fine weather accompanied us until the end of the season.<br />and good weather accompanied us until the end of August. The harvest began on 20 August and ended on 5 September in good weather. Average yield per hectare was<br />4,800 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,020 litres of wine (wine yield: 63%). The small size of the bunches and the low yields in the vineyard have legitimised the high<br />quality of this vintage, which is expressed in the Cuvée Prestige Edition 44 by an intense aroma of citrus, white and yellow fruits and by a full-bodied, extremely lively taste.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and a skilful vinification process conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method.<br />The grapes, harvested by hand in small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from the exclusive 'berry<br />spa': a special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches consisting of three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the<br />musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Seven months of refinement are then necessary for the<br />wine to clarify, mature and bring out the best of the character of the original vineyards. The wines are then skilfully blended in the 'magic ritual' of creating the cuvée. It is<br />only after a minimum of two years of ageing on the lees that this Franciacorta can express all its richness and identity. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of<br />oxygen, using a unique system designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta wines<br />purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.<br /><br />DRILLING<br />From April to June of the year following the harvest.<br /><br />AVERAGE AGEING ON THE LEES<br />On average 25 months.<br /><br />DOSAGE AT DISGORGING<br />Sugar content 1.0 grams/litre - 'Extra Brut'.<br /><br />ANALYTICAL DATA AT DISGORGEMENT<br />Alcohol 12.8% vol.; pH 3.11; Total acidity 5.80 grams/litre; Volatile acidity 0.32 grams/litre.<br /><br />SULPHITES<br />Total sulphur dioxide, maximum 55 milligrams/litre (maximum legal limit: 185 milligrams/litre), concentration specified on the back label.<br />

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Marchese Antinori Vinsanto Chianti Classico DOC 2016<br /><br />Climate: After an autumn and winter that tended to be mild and not very rainy, spring 2016 began with good weather in Chianti Classico, bringing bud break about 10 days<br />earlier than the historical average. Starting in May and during the first half of June, rainfall and average cool temperatures were recorded, but did not affect the decisive<br />phases of flowering and fruit set. The summer up to the end of August was hot, dry and without heat peaks: optimal conditions for maintaining an excellent vegetative-<br />productive balance and ensuring constant growth of the grapes. Harvesting took place between 7 and 10 September.<br /><br />Vinification: the grapes, sourced exclusively from the vineyards of the Antinori estates in Chianti Classico, were carefully selected and harvested in boxes; they were then<br />placed by hand on the special mats of the appassitoio (drying room) of the Tignanello estate or on the penzane of the Pèppoli estate (mobile frames where the bunches are<br />hung in suspension). The grapes, left to dry until the end of December, were then softly pressed in order to maintain their organoleptic and aromatic characteristics. The<br />must obtained was put into the typical 'caratelli', made from different types of wood and with a capacity varying between 50 and 200 litres, where the long, slow alcoholic<br />fermentation took place. The wine remained in the kegs for about 3 years and was then blended and finally bottled.<br /><br />Historical data: The production of Vinsanto in Tuscany dates back at least to medieval times: it is considered a true regional speciality and the Antinori family has always<br />produced it. The first vintage of Vinsanto Tenute Marchese Antinori (a 'natural' production vinsanto) was, however, 1987.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: The Marchese Antinori Vinsanto has a dark amber colour with golden reflections. On the nose sweet notes of dried fruit, such as hazelnut and date, combine<br />with an intense sensation of candied orange, honey, and a slight hint of cinnamon. On the palate it is full, soft, supported by a pleasant freshness that makes it lively and<br />pleasant. Good persistence on the palate.<br />

Gewürztraminer Passito DOP...

Gewürztraminer Passito DOP...

Vinification<br /><br />The grapes are harvested in September and left to dry for 4 months in a well-ventilated room. In December, the dried grapes are selected again. Drying results in a 2/3<br />weight loss, as well as a concentration of sugar, aromas, acidity and tannins. Due to the high sugar content, the yeast cannot carry out the fermentation completely and<br />thus a natural residual sweetness remains. After a fermentation of 6 weeks, a longer bottle fermentation takes place.<br />Tasting<br /><br />The 'Cashmere' Gewürztraminer Passito presents itself with a golden yellow colour with a light amber hue. Its bouquet is exquisite and intensely aromatic: dried apricots,<br />candied fruits, rose petals, a hint of orange and caramel. On the palate, the Passito is very concentrated, with a harmonious interplay between inviting sweetness and<br />refreshing acidity, elegant and of exquisite level.<br />
