Vintage: the 2021 viticultural year was demanding and challenging in many respects. The winter months were predominantly sunny but decidedly cold. Temperatures rose only hesitantly even in spring, slowing down the development phase of the vines. However, a warm and sunny start to the summer made up for this. August and July were very varied, so the grape harvest started relatively late on 9 September. The rainy September was a great organisational challenge for our winegrowers, but finally the harvest was completed on 26 October with a very good result.
Tasting notes: - bright yellow - intense aroma of nutmeg, ripe peach - juicy, full-bodied, with a pithy acidity, well balanced by the pleasant sweetness of the fruit.
Recommendation: enjoy this sweet dessert wine with doughnuts, strudel and cake.
