mehrere Informationen

The Eagle's Nest Viognier flows into the glass in a green-gold hue, which indicates its maturation in barriques. It bewitches the nose with delicious aromas of fresh kumquats, lime zest and fine minerality, followed by subtle hints of fragrant rose water, elderberry and jasmine blossoms. Let the wine breathe a little in the glass and look forward to seductively beguiling aromas of fragrant vanilla bean. On the palate fresh and full-bodied with the typical spice of Viognier and wonderful notes of stewed quince. Its pleasant freshness, paired with subtle wood notes, promises a crisp and clean finish with a surprisingly lingering aftertaste. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Viognier were harvested by hand with great care and transported to the winery, where they were cooled down to 5ºC overnight in a cold room. The next morning the grapes were gently pressed. The juice was left to rest overnight in stainless steel tanks, whereupon only the clear premium juice was transferred to new second and third filled barrels. The temperature during the fermentation process was kept relatively low at 18ºC. The wine was stirred every two weeks (batonnage) during the maturation period in the barrels and slightly refilled. After 6 months of aging, the wine was removed from the barrel and mixed with the components removed from the steel. Before bottling, the wine underwent a light filtration.
