Tasting note from from 10.12.2021, Copyright Sebastian Bordthäuser

The Sand & Slate comes from seven different vineyards of sand and slate soils. The 2020 was a very good vintage with ideal ripeness, the right yield and ideal balance with balanced fruit acidity. Muskateller generally prefers light soils on which it best develops its expressive bouquet. With Muskateller, however, Tement focuses less on the primary fruit and more on the subtle spiciness that Muskateller is capable of developing. The fully ripe grapes were harvested by hand, followed by a maceration period of 24-36 hours on the skins. This takes away the primary fruit and gives it its compact backbone. Spontaneously fermented in steel, half of it matured on the full lees.

Color

Pale yellow with green reflections and silver tapered rim.

Nose

The 2020 Gelbe Muskateller Sand & Schiefer by Armin Tement wraps you around its finger with its distinctive, fragrant-floral nose. White and yellow blossoms and a full fruit basket with fully ripe mirabelles, green mandarins and distinctive grape aromas outline the fruit far from the primary aromas, complemented by spicy accents of mace, elder and white pepper. Delicate and shimmering, it is playful and animating on the nose.

Mouth

With a super juicy entry, fine yeasty notes and creamy melting, it is punchy on the palate with decent bass and finely integrated acidity. The fruit stays pleasantly in the background and is embedded in fluffy phenolic without being conspicuous by its absence, which frees it from the regular aperitif situation and invites it to the table in the company of summer hors d'oeuvres.
