Description

Product description for Roterfaden Flora 2023

Info

2023 is Flora’s maiden vintage. The cuvée is based on 80% Pinot Blanc and 20% Muscat. The vines are planted on shell limestone in terraced dry-stone walls. After the harvest, the grapes are pressed with the feet and left on the skins for five days. Then they go into the basket press and then, together with the full lees, into old wooden barrels for vinification and aging. There is no filtering and only a cautious addition of sulfur.

Colour

Bright golden yellow with orange reflections and distinct cloudiness.

Nose

Flora 2023 smells wonderful and stands firmly in the glass. It combines blossoms and zest par excellence. Apple, almond, and cherry blossoms duel for supremacy. In the end, it’s a draw. Orange, lime, and bergamot zest are also present. Grapefruit juice and kaffir lime leaves complement the wine perfectly. A hint of cinnamon and clove hangs in the air, as does the tart, acidic skin of the mandarin orange. Its aroma is seductive and exemplary.

Palate

The 2023 Flora perfectly conveys the impressions gained from the nose to the palate. Its fruit is rich, yet sour to tart. This distinctive side has a defining effect. The bitterness is perfectly integrated. It never loses its lightness. Its fine tannins support the mouthfeel and lend it substance. Its fruit otherwise thrives on freshness and medium length. Its spicy aspects are timidly revealed in the finish. Drinking pleasure, fun, and vitality dominate.
