Ehrenhausen “Zeitspiel 4” Spätfüllung 48 M. 2019 3000ml Doppel-Magnum

Wine Description for Ehrenhausen “Zeitspiel 4” Late Bottling 48 M. 2019 3000ml Double Magnum by Tement

Colour & Appearance

A brilliant, medium golden yellow, shot through with lively silver and emerald-green reflections.

Nose

A wine that demands patience and oxygen. After decanting, an intellectual bouquet of enormous depth unfolds: gooseberries, passion fruit and dark cassis notes meld with cool wild mint and freshly ground white pepper. The smoky minerality and a hint of elderwood lend it an almost aristocratic distance.

Palate

On the palate, the mastery of the Tement family reveals itself. Despite the concentration, the wine appears almost ethereal through its moderate 12.5% alcohol. A crystalline acidity forms the backbone, accompanied by finest tannins and masterfully subtle oak influence. The 48-month yeast ageing grants it a texture that perfectly balances power and elegance – it seems to float across the tongue.

Finish

Long, precise and vibrantly mineral. An aftertaste that speaks of its austere origins and the tranquillity of its lengthy maturation.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Sauvignon Blanc from Ehrenhausen. Following selective hand-harvesting and brief skin contact, spontaneously fermented. The “Zeitspiel” defines itself through the 48-month late bottling from barrel and steel tank.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal partner for fine dining such as langoustine with pumpkin purée, red mullet with Sauvignon celery foam or delicate lemon spinach malfatti.

Special Features

The 3000ml double magnum promises enormous ageing potential. Be sure to decant generously and serve in large glasses.
