2008 Pinot Blanc »SJ«

TASTING NOTE
The nose opens with fine aromas of zitrus and ripe ananas. Nicely balanced and beautifully complex and creamy on the palate
The minerality of the wine reflects the terroir character of the exceptional vineyard site. A very longlasting aftertaste.

WINEMAKER’S NOTE
Vintage 2008 offerd us, after a break in 2007, an outstanding fruit quality to vinify a Pinot Blanc SJ. Only a strict vineyard management ensures to vinify a wine of extraordinary quality. We strictly reduce the crop to one grape per shoot. Perfect ripe grapes were hand-picked and sorted. A whole cluster pressing gently removed the juice from the skins and seeds, preserving the fresh and vivid fruit flavors. 50% was fermented in stainless steel, 25% in new oak and 25% in used oak.
