Wine notes:

This late-harvest wine, a true family estate selection, is sourced exclusively from our 25 year-old vines sitting at an elevation of 230 meters on the highest terraces in the Lapis vineyard. Harvested late in the season on November 21st, the fruit is a mixture of healthy ripe berries and well-shrivelled berries without botrytis. At harvest, the sugar content of the berries reached an astonishing 261 g/l.

A lighter shade of yellow with silver notes in the glass carrying with it a scent of white flowers on the nose, the wine begins quietly on the palate; subtle citrus and candied fruit confit flavors are complemented by hints of mint and tobacco. Slowly taking on weight and strength, the wine remains balanced and harmonious where a racy acidity guides the palate through multiple layers of complexity. A pronounced minerality accentuates a steely backbone, a signature of Lapis. Over time, this wine should continue to impress.
