Floral-scented nose, elegant cherry aromas, wild strawberry, chiseled, fruity-fresh, great Pinot interpretation in a cool and pointed style

Vintage description
The 2023 vintage began with a cool, rainy spring, which ensured slow, even development of the vines. The summer was moderately warm with sufficient moisture, largely avoiding drought stress. A sunny, stable autumn enabled a late, selective harvest under ideal conditions. The grapes presented themselves aromatically, freshly, and perfectly balanced. 2023 is considered a classic, very harmonious vintage with clear fruit and elegant structure.
Harvest and Maturing
After selective hand harvesting, the majority of the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed, while a small portion (approx. 25%) is fermented as whole clusters. The resulting must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. During fermentation, the cap is submerged two to three times daily by pump-overs (remontage). Maceration lasts on average around two weeks.
The young wine is then transferred to traditional large oak casks, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is allowed to mature for one year before being clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
