Gemischter Satz mit ACHTUNG 2017

The Gemischter Satz consists of the grape varieties Grüner Veltliner, Roter Riesling, Roter Veltliner, Traminer, Riesling, Welschriesling. In the Eichelberg vineyard, it is located opposite the famous Zöbinger Heiligenstein at an altitude of about 300 metres. The site is exposed to the south and characterised by the primary rock that is common there. After a selective hand harvest, the wine is fermented without rape for four weeks in large wooden barrels. The wine is then allowed to mature on the lees for twelve months. After the first racking, the wine is allowed another six months on the fine lees. The Gemischter Satz "with respect" can therefore also be understood as "with time" or "with patience".

The Gemischter Satz with respect is aromatically loud and complex. None of the grape varieties is in the foreground. With the exception of Traminer, which is definitely noticeable. Verbena and lemon balm make an appearance, as do rose petals and slightly nutty nuances. Dried herbs, hay as well as dried apricots and apples also come to the fore.

The mash fermentation and the long yeast contact convey an appealing mouthfeel. All the puzzle pieces of an elegant wine have been put together here with a lot of savvy. On the palate, a red berry quality suddenly comes to the fore. Likewise, verbena tea and lemon balm find their way back in. Also the dried fruits and nuts pave their way retronasally.

A lemony acidity makes the mixed set seem very juicy overall and pushes it into a corset. Delicate bitterness rounds off the reverberation harmoniously. Slim and refined.
