Alcohol 9.76%
pH 2.84

Classification D.O. Costers del Segre

Botrytis Affected Yes
Bottling Date June 2019
Production Volume 1,500 bottles
Bottles1,500
Production Details Sweet white Riesling described as between Kabinett and Spätlese, made with only a little botrytis to preserve varietal purity. The Wine Advocate text reports high acidity of “nine grams” and approximately 33 grams of unfermented sugar without explicitly stating a per-litre unit, so those observations are retained here rather than entered as canonical analytical values.
Tasting Notes Subtle, elegant, pure and crystalline; initially closed and shy, with a balanced profile and substantial ageing potential.
Critics Ratings 95/100 (Robert Parker / Wine Advocate)
