Production Details Selective hand harvest; very small yields from selected botrytised grapes. No destemming; skin contact was used. Fermentation proceeded for varying lengths at 22–25 °C. The wine received no bâtonnage, was racked twice, and was bottle aged for one month before a September release. Vineyard elevation is reported as 240–350 m. The PDF contains an internal site-description conflict: its vineyard section describes fruit from different Knoll single-vineyard sites, while its blending section says no blending/single-vineyard wines; consequently, no site_blend claim is proposed.
Tasting Notes Saffron and candied lemon
