The 2019 vintage was sunny and gave racy wines thanks to dry extracts rarely reached before. We find beautiful density in the middle of the mouth, while time and aeration will allow the wines to unfold. The finish mouth is prolonged by beautiful bitterness and punctuated by a refreshing touch. The grapes are gently airbag-pressed as whole bunches for 10 hours. Spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, where it was aged on its lees for 20 months. Here’s a wine of incomparable nobility and length with pulpy and delicate flesh. Here the balance in the mouth is due to the perfectly complementary sandstone and volcano. The sensual and gentle sandstone ensures a charming entry and the primitive, muscular volcano allows the wine to stretch out on a fine, interminable, and almost salty finale so characteristic of Muenchberg. Patience is always rewarded with the wines of Muenchberg. They are always brilliant in their first spring after a long decant, but the terroir really reveals itself after at least five years of aging. – Arthur Ostertag
