<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 />

Sauvignon 'Asparagus<br /><br />'This Sauvignon Blanc is a real insider tip for asparagus dishes. It is harvested separately and bottled a little earlier.

Dense and elegant, with a lot of melting, long lasting.<br />Site and soil: Two thirds of the grapes come from Lieben Aich in Terlan and one third from Campan in Kaltern. In Terlan Lieben Aich we have a warm west-facing slope at<br />300 m above sea level, with water-permeable, sandy loam soil on porphyry weathered rock. Kaltern Campan is a cool, east-facing slope at 500 m above sea level. The soil<br />is a strong loamy limestone soil with rock deposits from ice-age glaciers.<br />Vinification: The destemmed grapes remained in the press for six hours for maceration to extract aroma and structure from the skins. Fermentation took place in wooden<br />barrels, partly spontaneously, with the grape's own yeasts. During the six months of ageing on the fine lees, the aroma and flavour were refined.<br />Serving temperature: 10 - 12 °C.<br />Goes well with: starters, fish and white meat.<br />
