We are now coming to the end of this special wine from Karl Johner’s German winery and with the festive season coming up, the time is right to offer a special price, 20% off the normal retail price – save $13.00!<\/p>\n
The Grauburgunder grapes come from our oldest vineyard Bischoffinger Steinbuck (over 50 years old). The soil type is 100% volcanic soil. We manage our vineyards strictly according to the guiding principle \u201cQuality is created in the vineyard\u201d. At SJ, the yield is reduced to one grape per shoot.<\/p>\n
In 2019, we again had a harvest at the normal time from mid-September. In such years, a beautiful fruit aroma develops in the berries before the must weight shoots up too much. It was a relaxed harvest with ideal weather and no botrytis infections.<\/p>\n
The hand-picked, healthy grapes were gently pressed as whole bunches in the cellar. The fermentation took place 50% in new and 50% in used 500l barrels.<\/p>\n
Medium bodied. Delicate woody aromas over a base of subtle ripe pears, then apple-pear compote on the palate. Great richness. The very long ageing on the lees gives a lot of creaminess. The wine is enormously elegant despite its power. The medium acidity fits perfectly.<\/em> Goes very well with veal cheeks, turkey, duck and pork.
