Cuvée Ris. Flora 2018 GIRLAN (BP/CH/SB) 750ml

Classification

South Tyrol DOC
Growing region

For this wine we select the best Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon grapes, which grow in Girlan in the Überetsch region at an altitude of between 450 and 500m above
sea level. All vines are at least 15 years old and are raised using the Guyot system. The soil in this growing area is particularly rich in minerals formed by sediments from
the glacial period.
Vinification and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. After subsequent whole bunch pressing, the must is clarified from the lees by natural sedimentation.
Fermentation takes place separately for each variety in French oak barrels of 12 and 15 hl. In the case of Chardonnay, the fermentation is followed by malolactic
fermentation. The subsequent maturation on the fine lees lasts 10 months. Afterwards the wine is cuvèetiert, bottled and stores as Riserva for further 9 months on the bottle.
Wine portrait

This wine expresses intense, clean and fresh aromas with personality. The structure is excellent and the finish on the palate is particularly spicy and mineral.
