Castell d'Encus: Majjan 2014 0,5 l

Parker über: Majjan

-- Parker: The incredibly nuanced and complex sweet white 2014 Majjan has a copper color and a nutty nose, beyond the varietal aromas of the grapes used—a majority of Semillon with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were harvested late with some botrytis and some frozen grapes à la eiswein. It has 12% alcohol, a pH of 2.9 and seven grams of acidity plus 230 grams of unfermented sugar. It's quite sweet and ethereal despite the high content of sugar. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels for eight months, so it has an oxidative twist that influences the character of the wine. Only 720 half-liter bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022. The price is for a half-liter bottle. 95/100
