Description

Product description for Georg Meissner Vindemiatrix VdF 2022 (bio)

Information about the wine

Vindemiatrix is the proper name of the star Epsilon Virginis in the zodiac sign of Virgo. To begin the grape harvest, the Romans waited for its appearance in the sky. Hence the Italian word vendemmia for grape harvest, or the French vendange. Georg Meissner devotes himself to tending his two vineyards, which were originally supposed to be cleared. The Carignan, planted in 1899, stands on a terrace surrounded by stone walls, rock, and forest. Yields are around 9 hl/ha.

Colour

Slightly transparent purple

Nose

If there is an archetypal Carignan aroma, it rises from a glass of 2022 Vindemiatrix. There’s plenty of cherry here, especially sour cherry, or cerise, but as a liqueur, it’s so dense. Added to that are notes of mulberry and blackberry, which combine with a touch of yeast, bresaola and garrigue, black olive tapenade, and crushed dark rock.

Palate

On the palate, the wine presents itself fresh and juicy. The fruit seems even crisper here than one might imagine. Yes, the crisp fruit, the acidity, and a grippy tannin are tightly interwoven, appear clear and precise, and form the basis for a finely polished texture. Carignan, as it should be.
