Production Details Dry to off-dry wine from Ayler Kupp; the vineyard has a 55–60% slope and vines aged 12–30 years. Fifty percent was matured in wood for four months with fine-lees contact. The catalogue reports acidity as 5‰ without specifying its analytical basis. The current shop separately displays a generic “TF” residual-sugar band of 9–14 g/L, which does not agree with the catalogue's vintage-specific 8.2 g/L figure.
Tasting Notes Full-bodied and creamy, with low acidity and aromas of grilled pineapple, ripe yellow apple and hay.
Food Pairing Avocado with lime, or bruschetta dip with grissini.
