Producentens noter (engelsk): Fact sheet: harvest commenced the last week of January but went into full swing from the first week of February. We picked our last grapes at the end of March. On the younger blocks, the yield was down by about 10%, but the older blocks produced more or less the same. The whites showed a lot of concentration and vibrant acidity. With the reds, we had lovely small berries with thick skins. During processing, we once again worked gently to avoid over-extracting and let Mother Nature takes her course with our natural ferments. Tasting notes from the glass of NadiaL angenegger Mourvedre shows a lot of variation from vintage to vintage reflecting the characteristics of the year nicely in the glass. As 2018 a drier vintage the savoury notes on the wine is more prominent to me but I also smell floral notes as well as variety of red berries. On the pallet the wine has a prominent tannin that covers your whole pallet and has a lovely length. I would be inclined to enjoy this red with a red meat on the bone prepared over fire.
