Note di degustazione
The 2020 Mev. Kirsten has a perfumed bouquet, quite floral, apricot blossom, hints of strawberry and lemon verbena. The palate is well balanced with good weight and density, slightly oily in texture; a touch of lemon rind with a white pepper appear towards the finish. Superb, though the Skurfburg seems to have a little more élan.

Beginning with an almost electric nose, the 2020 Old Vine Series Mev Kirsten offers a fine, dusty mineral essence and elements of underripe pineapple, yellow pear, sweet citrus and lanolin. The wine is balanced on the palate, with energetic acidity that races across the mid-palate with finesse and precision, followed by a soft chalky mineral tension and a slight kiss of phenolic bitterness. The wine unpacks and unfolds over the elongated finish with subtle flavors of arugula and underripe peach skin. Bravo!
