Mason 2017 Bio MANINCOR 750ml

Mason - the sensitive companion.

It nestles silkily against the skin, cherries, blackberries and roses linger for a long time, and the coveted Pinot Noir makes the mind sensual at the right time.

Grape variety: Pinot Noir.
Colour: bright, rich ruby red.
Aroma and taste: Raspberries and cranberry fruit, some rose petals and liquorice, ripe in fruit and fresh in spice, fruity and delicate on the palate, velvety and at the same
time firm from the tip of the tongue to the finish.
Site and soil: Mazzon, called 'Mason' by us to avoid confusion with the larger site above Neumarkt. Four hectares are planted with Pinot Nero in this unique site: a south-
facing plateau at 400 - 450 m above sea level, sunny and constantly exposed to the wind. Ideal conditions for the tightly berried Pinot grapes. The soil is sandy loam and
interspersed with various stones: Dolomite, porphyry, gneiss and granite can be found from small grains to fist-sized stones.
Vinification: Each batch from the different parcels was vinified separately. The maceration took place in wooden vats, spontaneously with the grape's own yeasts. Maceration
lasted two weeks, with the marc cake being macerated once a day. The 12-month wooden barrel ageing took place in barriques, with only 10% new wood and the wine
remaining on the fine lees for the entire time. Only then were the individual parcels blended, selecting the best barrels from the highest parcel with the oldest vines for Mason
di Mason.
Serving temperature: 16 -18 °C.
Pairings: roasted and grilled (red) meats, game and matured soft cheeses.
