Description

Product description for Pranzegg Tonsur 2023

The Tonsur comes from the Oberplatten vineyard in the Ritten region. The blend lies on the border of Alpine and Mediterranean climates on volcanic soils and consists of around two-thirds Müller-Thurgau, the remainder being Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Silvaner. The grapes were harvested while still crisp and mashed together with 50% vines. After six days of maceration in concrete, the wine is racked once and then left on the lees in the concrete until April. Then it is bottled and goes on sale in June.

Color

Straw yellow with light orange reflections and a satin sheen.

Nose

The 2023 Tonsur from Marion & Martin Gojers Pranzegg initially presents itself restrained on the nose and urges calm: Wait and see is the motto, not only when drinking, but also when making wine. He calmly recounts the maceration and the yeast storage, until he begins to chat about fruit: sliced yellow, waxy apples, orange blossoms, and chopped sweet almonds, along with mild culinary herbs like chervil and lemon balm.

Palate

A super-juicy first sip with a creamy texture and a powdery grip on the palate. Feel, structure, and extract are the pressing themes of this wine, which eschews superfluous fruity embellishments. Everything appears taut and straight-parted, with fruit and floral notes primarily evident retronasally in the extract. The fine phenolics contribute an aromatic, pleasantly warm bass and cause the glass to refill at a high frequency.
