Salwey, Kirchberg GG, Weissburgunder 2022

Produktbeskrivelse

“Finely nuanced aroma, peach, quince, Mirabelle plum, pear, almond, nut butter, subtle caramel and smoke. Smooth attack with clear fruit, fine mealy tannins, relaxed acidity that picks up towards the finish and carries into the length with fine mineral savouriness” 96+p. Falstaff

“From up to 40-year-old vines, the 2022 Weissburgunder Kirchberg GG is intense in its cloudy golden-yellow color as well as in its sur lie and beautifully fresh and savory phenol notes. Grown on hard, barren volcanic rocks called tephrite, which is interspersed with veins of limestone, this is a serious wine that will benefit from aeration and needs at least a big glass to unfold its natural talents. Ripe old pear varieties intertwined with chalky, saline and even phenol notes lead to an elegant, refined and balanced Pinot Blanc with lots of finesse yet also terroir expression that tightens on the saline, pure and grippy finish that indicates great aging capacity. Although three years old when released in September 2025, this is a terribly young white wine with fine but vivacious acidity and an overall savory and finely tannic character.” 94p.

Kirchberg er en 4,5 ha. stor markparcel med nedbrudt vulkansk jordbund med lommer af kalksten. Vinmarken blev restaureret i 2006, så den igen følger den oprindelige hældningsgrad på op mod 30%. Vinen gærer på 1200 ltr. egetræsfade med vildgæren inden vinen kommes på barriques, hvor vinen lagrer i 24 måneder. Herefter føres vinen på ståltanke hvor den hviler på bundfaldet i yderligere 6 måneder inden frigivelse. Kirchberg Weissburgunder GG er en enormt nuancerig og kompleks hvidvin, der giver mindelser om klassisk Bourgogne, med både udtalt mineralitet og fedmefyldt frugt. Fantastisk valg til de bedste fiskeretter! Lagringspotentialet er mellem 10 og 15 år.
