Riserva Bronner Passito Sweet Claire 0,375 l - Lieselehof

The Riserva Bronner Passito Sweet Claire from Lieselehof in Trentino-Alto Adige reveals a brilliant golden-yellow color when swirled in the glass. On the nose, this Lieselehof dessert wine opens up with all kinds of apple, peach, mirabelle and lemon. As if that were not impressive enough, maturation in large wooden casks adds honey, mint/melissa and caramel.

The organically produced Lieselehof Riserva Bronner Passito Sweet Claire presents an incredibly fruity taste on the palate, which is of course also due to its residual sweetness. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed dessert wine is wonderfully silky, velvety, creamy and dense. The finish of this dessert wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region, more precisely from Alto Adige /Südtirol DOC, is ultimately compelling with its beautiful length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of Lieselehof Riserva Bronner Passito Sweet Claire

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Johanniter. Only first-class harvested grapes were used for this wonderfully elegant varietal wine from Lieselehof. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. Here the vines drive their roots deep into clay soils. After being hand-picked, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks follows at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by 18 months of aging in oak barrels.
