Moscato Rosa DOC 2023 375ml...
<br />South Tyrol Moscato Rosa DOC<br /><br />A rare pleasure in a small edition<br /><br />Castel Sallegg and Moscato Rosa. These two terms have long belonged together in South Tyrol. Not without reason, it was the Princes of Campofranco, ancestors of the<br />current owner Count Georg von Kuenburg, who in 1892 brought this noble grape variety with them when they moved from Sicily to Sallegg Castle in Caldaro and planted it<br />in the warmest soil on Lake Caldaro, where it thrived magnificently. Today, the rose muscatel is one of the rarest varieties in the world. The Moscato Rosa of Castel Sallegg<br />grows at the Seehof in St. Josef am See at 230 m above sea level on the traditional pergola.<br /><br />The production of this wine is very limited: Depending on the weather, Moscato Rosa may not be bottled at all in certain years. Otherwise, up to 1,000 bottles are bottled per<br />vintage.<br /><br />Tasting Notes:<br />A dessert wine whose colour is characterised by a dense raspberry red.<br />On the nose, rich aromas of roses, fine fruit components distantly reminiscent of lychee and ripe, very complex raspberry flavours, supported by an elegant spiciness in<br />the background.<br />Very opulent, repeating the aromas of the fragrance, this powerful wine type presents itself on the palate.<br />Serving temperature: 10-14°C<br />Shelf life: Up to 30 years. Moscato Rosa is Castel Sallegg's most famous wine and, as a variety, is one of the rarest in the world.<br />Food recommendation: Ideal with mature, spicy cheeses, foie gras, desserts with berry fruits (but with sugar restrained). Also perfect as a stand-alone wine in the sense of<br />a meditation wine.<br />Grape variety: 100% Moscato Rosa - Selection Kuenburg: Autochthonous variety.<br />Site: Kaltern - Seehof: 230 m above sea level. Gravel and reddish, ground Grödner sandstone. Warm, air-permeable soils with a special microclimate in the immediate<br />vicinity of Lake Kaltern.<br />Growing system: Traditional pergola<br />Yield per vine: 0.5 kg - 8 hl/ha due to natural trickling.<br />Vinification: The grapes are harvested very late with a minimum gradation of 32°KMW (160 Öchsle). This is followed by a week of maceration in stainless steel tanks.<br />Maturation: 1 year in stainless steel barrels, followed by 12 months in the bottle.<br />Alcohol: 12,5 %<br />Acidity: 7,3 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 161,4 g/l<br />

Südt. Weiss Amos KURTATSCH...
<br /><br />The AMOS cuvée shows the terroir potential of the high Kurtatsch sites. AMOS is composed of the best hand-picked white grapes from the coolest vineyards between 600<br />and 900 metres above sea level.<br /><br />It is precisely this interplay of varieties and sites that makes AMOS so unique in character and style. In order to preserve the mountain freshness, barriques were not used.<br />The long fine yeast storage in large wood provides additional complexity. The neutral Burgundy varieties form the compact foundation (70%) Kerner and Sauvignon give the<br />wine its seductive bouquet of white peach, apricot, blossom and citrus fruit. The result is a very complex, incomparable cuvée.<br />AMOS: the mountain wine.<br /><br />Grape variety: Pinot Blanc - Chardonnay - Pinot Grigio - Kerner - Sauvignon.<br />Vinification: Separate harvest and fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by blending and fine yeast ageing for 15 months in large oak<br />barrels.<br />Alcohol: 14.0 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.3 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 2,0 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 40 hl<br />Optimal drinking maturity: 2-8 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

Südtirol Lagrein Riserva...
Lagrein, genetically related to Syrah, is the oldest autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. In the hot, deep vineyards in the south of South Tyrol, the heat-loving<br />Lagrein finds its suitable habitat.<br />The FRAUENHÜGEL has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine is enriched with balsamic tannins during ageing in<br />barrique barrels. The noble roasted aromas and the vital acidity are harmoniously combined with the powerful fruit body.

Barrique barrels for 12 months, followed by ageing in<br />large oak barrels.<br /><br />Alcohol: 14,0 % Vol.<br />Total acidity: 5,2 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 1,6 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 50 hl<br />Optimal drinking maturity: 3-10 years<br />

Le Serre Nuove 2022...
LE SERRE NUOVE DELL'ORNELLAIA 2022<br />BOLGHERI DOC ROSSO<br />Crafted from the same varieties, under the same sky, with the same philosophy: Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a<br />proud second wine, which has the ability to foretell the personality of the estate's flagship wine. Together, the wines<br />provide their own distinctive points of view. The pleasure of sipping Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia evolves over<br />time, adding the charm of maturity to the vigour of youth.<br />TASTING N OTES<br />65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc Alc. : 14,5% vol.<br />Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2022 displays signature elegance and freshness, despite the vintage's solar character.<br />A deep red-purple hue and ripe black fruit, spices and lightly toasted wood aromas shine through in the wine. A<br />generous and juicy prologue is ensued by rich, firm tannins, while the finish is aromatic, plush and persistent.<br />The wine already offers a delightful drinking experience and will reach perfect maturity within ten years.<br />THE 2022 G ROWING SEASON<br />The 2022 vintage in Bolgheri was distinguished by a typical winter with temperatures nearing the seasonal average,<br />followed by a start of spring that was equally cool and dry. These conditions caused the vines to bud later than<br />usual. From May onwards, a lengthy dry spell - lasting for about 75 days - persisted in the area, seriously<br />challenging plant growth. The vines suffered from notable water stress during the growth, flowering and veraison<br />periods, which resulted in a low-yield vintage. Fortunately, after these complications, the rainfall caused by summer<br />storms freed up the energies, reactivating the physiology of the vines that could resume the ripening of the grapes.<br />The rainfall cleared up during a month of September that proved perfect for the accumulation of sugar, aromas<br />and tannins, mostly due to the cool night-time temperatures. The harvest took place in superb conditions that<br />enabled us to choose the perfect date for each vineyard and varietal.<br />The red grape harvest started with Merlot on 25 August before continuing through September with Cabernet<br />Sauvignon and ending on 10 October.<br />VINIFICATION AND AGEING<br />The grapes were handpicked into 15 kg baskets. The bunches were selected by hand on a double sorting table before<br />and after de-stemming, then finally soft-pressed. In addition to handpicking, we introduced optical selection in<br />2016 in order to further increase the quality of berry selection. Each variety and each parcel of land was vinified<br />separately. The alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in concrete vats at<br />temperatures between 22-28°C for two weeks, followed by maceration for a total of about 10-15 days.<br />The malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel after which the wines were racked into barriques (25% new<br />and 75% used once). The wine remained in barriques in Ornellaia's cellars for about 15 months. After the first 12<br />months the wine was blended and then returned to the barriques for an additional three months of ageing. The<br />wine then remained in the bottle for another six months prior to release.<br />
