Description

Product description for Tement Ried Rossberg K Morillon 2021 (bio)

This Morillon comes from a Erste STK® vineyard with steep, southeast- to south-facing slopes at an altitude of 370 to 460 meters. The vines, up to 36 years old, are rooted in barren, calcareous opok soils typical of Southern Styria. Biodynamic cultivation according to Demeter and respektBIODYN guidelines lays the foundation for a puristic, long-lasting wine. After natural spontaneous fermentation, the Morillon matured for 30 months on the fine lees in small French oak barrels and was filled unfiltered with natural cork. A complex, clearly structured single-vineyard wine with potential well beyond 2040.

Color

Light straw yellow, bright and clear.

Nose

The 2021 Ried Rossberg K Morillon from Tement has a smoky, dark character: beneath the delicate reduction, it smells of cocoa nibs, dried quince, grapefruit zest, hazelnut shells, and salted butter. Multi-layered and complex, it reveals itself in constant change with increasing aeration and calls for the large, expensive glasses.

Palate

The first sip is neatly parted, without an ounce of fat on the ribs: with a sinewy stature, it is tall and well-defined, the fruit is reduced to its essentials, the extract compactly embedded in the grippy phenolics with a distinctive grapefruit twist on the palate. The finish reflects the dark side of the cocoa and nuts, underpinned by salty notes and a citrus zing. Stable value with a compact appearance.
