Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift)
Praepositus Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Sylvaner
Valle Isarco / Eisacktal, Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
This is what Sylvaner would taste like if Raveneau worked with the variety. It pushes all of my pleasure buttons and can only be considered an overachiever in terms of anyone's reasonable expectations for this variety. Rich and complex but medium bodied, it's got plenty of acidity to support the creamy fruit. Still some aging potential ahead too for those with amore patience than I.

Jan 6th, 2014By far the best one from their white range.
Aged partially in acacia barrels, this shows a lovely blend of ripe pears, a touch of underripe white peach, a fresh herby mineral note - quite round yet so clean & precise.
Quite some presence on the palate. Medium body, zingy mineral acidity, beautiful mineral depth. Almost as if a slight tannic bite. Great balance & purity, beautiful long finish.
Blind I would have taken this for a racy Pinot Blanc.
Such a nice one!

(15.5/20) Аромат груши дюшес, лайма с легкими тонами сыра и свежескошенной травы. Очень приятное вино.

Dec 14th, 2016Соломенный. Не очень яркий, желтые фрукты, растительные тона. Во вкусе ярче, хорошая кислотность и тело, легкая терпкость, цедра, мед. Хороший баланс.

Apr 8th, 2016Ароматный зелёный чай со специями и молоком . Интересно, алкоголь чуть вылезает. Много структуры.

Freshness, fruit and flowers, herbal hints, a soft minerality, good acidity and a good floreal finish
