Wijndomein Valke Vleug Pinot Auxerrois 'Acacia' 2021
Belgium|ScheldelandAlthough 2021 was a challenging year, we are very pleased with this new cuvée. Our vision remains unchanged: hand-picking only the best grapes, whole-cluster pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and aging in acacia wood barrels. Minimal intervention for maximum output. The nose reveals spring blossom, citrus, and a light spiciness. On the palate, it begins round and juicy with mild acidity and a delicate richness. Ripe fruit and a well-integrated touch of wood finish with a fine bitterness. Elegant drinking pleasure at only 11% alcohol!
