21.90CHF
When aged “Sur Lie” or on lees, the wine is aged in contact with the lees, a method that adds depth and complexity. Lees are leftover yeast particles and sediments that precipitate at the bottom of a barrel or tank during fermentation. Aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, the Pošip Sur Lie shows aromas of ripe fruit and citrus notes, rich flavors on the palate, a well-balanced acidity. Peach, bitter almond, smoky and citrusy. A buttery texture and long finish.
