As a special feature of the 2021 vintage, which was not too warm, we harvested botrytis-infected clusters with nicely preserved acids, even in the ripe berries. After destemming, the grapes were left to soak for 14 hours before being gently pressed and barrel-fermented at low temperatures. The finished wine was matured for one year in a combination of French and Hungarian barrels.
It is characterised by a pale, warm, golden hue. Softly emerging tropical fruits and fresh orange peel sit on tight acids, with unobtrusive citruses and just-ripening peaches in the background. There is also a slight caramel and vanilla creaminess alongside the honey. It is a real, fresh, explosive flavour bomb. A beautiful, balanced wine.
