Production Details Fruit came from vineyards aged 60–80 years, with some ungrafted vines. The strictly hand-harvested, entirely healthy fruit was gently crushed and macerated on its skins for several hours. The must fermented slowly and cool with indigenous yeasts; gentle maturation in large wooden casks and extended lees ageing followed.
Tasting Notes Stephan Reinhardt (August 2024, 2022 release): fully ripe and partly tropical fruit, crushed slate and lemon peel; silky, crystalline, dense and powerful, with playful acidity, slate finesse and a long, complex finish
Food Pairing Fresh, aromatic dishes such as skrei fillet in coconut-lime broth with roasted potatoes and spinach; turkey steaks with Mediterranean roasted vegetables; or orange and fennel salad with sautéed prawns. Decant and serve in a large glass.
