Tasting note
Matt gold and massive tears. The bouquet exudes notes of Kletzenbrot (Christmas fruit bread), Aranzini (candied orange peel) and apple cider. Tight grip with perfect balance. Powerfully smooth with notes of pear, orange, dried apple slices and a hint of white pepper. Piquant acidity, elegant extract sweetness and a long chalky finish. Harmoniously full-bodied. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Food recommendation
baked chicken or schnitzel
