    St. Michael Eppan Appius 2017

    €193,95
    Extreme pre-selection of the grapes, combined with careful aging in the cellar and successful blending, has made it possible to achieve a true sensory symphony despite the unfavorable climatic conditions of the 2017 vintage. The contribution of each grape variety does not emerge individually, but forms a powerful symbiosis.
    Appius 2017 has a brilliant color with yellowish, slightly olive reflections. The aroma is intense and complex, it has aromas of yellow flowers (lime) and especially white flowers (hawthorn and orange blossom) and citrus notes of tangerine and grapefruit with occasional hints of white currants and gooseberries.On the palate, the wine is fine, elegant and almost velvety, carried by lively acidity and a mineral and tasty structure. It is an excellent companion to fish dishes, such as fried fish, or traditional "Wienerschnitzel." Also perfect when paired with mushroom and truffle specialties or game poultry. It also pairs very well with creamy cheeses or mature cheeses.
    APPIUS 2017 is made from 54% chardonnay, 24% pinot grigio, 12% sauvignon blanc and 10% pinot bianco sourced from strictly selected vines in Eppan facing southeast and southwest. The soil consists of limestone gravel and barrage. Manual harvesting took place in mid-September.The grapes are placed in barriques-tonneaux for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation (except sauvignon) and vinification. Assembly takes place after just under a year, followed by another three years of aging in steel tanks with fine yeast. Storage potential is 25 to 35 years.
