Information about the wine:
Der Vindemiatrix, eine Hommage an den gleichnamigen Stern im Sternbild Jungfrau, wird nur in ausgewählten Jahrgängen kreiert. Die Italiener und Franzosen benannten ihre Weinsaisons – „vendemmia“ und „vendange“ – nach dem Auftauchen dieses Sterns, ein Zeichen, dass die Ernte beginnen kann. Enstanden ist der Vindemiatrix im Serrat de la Plane, zu deutsch “steinige Hochfläche”, eine extrem herausfordernde Weinanbaulage. Mit über einem Jahrhundert alter Rebstöcke ist dieser Wein ein wahres Kunstwerk der Natur.

Color:
The wine presents itself in an intense violet-red with fine, lighter tones towards the rim.

Scent:
With the 2014 vintage, the Vindemiatrix unfolds an irresistible, original fruit note. Blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants merge with hints of rosemary and juniper. Wild saline notes and the spicy freshness of black olives complement the fruity composition. Subtle traces of graphite and charcoal add elegance and depth to this exceptional wine from Georg Meissner.

Taste:
On the palate, the liveliness and elegance of the Carignan manifest themselves, convincing with a superior structure and pleasant coolness. With its juicy structure and moderate alcohol content, it is the perfect accompaniment to a diverse repertoire of dishes, especially those from its home region.

Food recommendations:
Try toasted bread with a paste of Kalamata olives, lamb steaks with thyme, green beans and chopped tomatoes, or grilled octopus on a bed of artichoke and fennel ragout.
