2021 MVØ Vogelgarten Domaine Weinbach

This orange wine has a fascinating nose of candied orange, bitter orange marmalade and tawny port. Stunning interplay of elegant tannins and dried-fruit aromas, the acidity just enough to keep this clean and straight. A blend of gewurztraminer with pinot gris. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Macération Volgelgarten 0 Intrant is harvested in the eponymous lieu-dit, made with 2/3 Gewurztraminer and 1/3 Pinot Gris, macerated on skins for almost three weeks, wholly destemmed, then aged in foudre, without any addition of sulfur dioxide. This shimmers in a most alluring pink and amber color. It comes with an enticing aroma of rose and sun-warmed peach, almost bottled peach. The palate has a tannic edge, more of that welcome apple pip bitterness, and real body. Fruit and aroma, rose and peach, seem to complete each other, while the tannic structure supports the delicate freshness. The finish is completely dry. The purity is astonishing. (Bone-dry)

Karrysild. Orangevin på pinot og gewürztraminer. Lækker kalket bitterhed, sødmefuld frugt i kernen. Orangevin kan være noget tvivlsomt noget, denne er virkelig god.
