Chasselas 2023

Tasting note

Light yellow with a slight green shimmer. Aromas of green apple (Granny Smith), vanilla, herbal and mineral notes, and green walnuts. It develops considerably after a few minutes in the glass. Subtle grapefruit, almond and liquorice notes emerge on the palate. Clear, delicately juicy and slender, with remarkable energy and drinkability. A light tannic structure and salinity enliven the palate, alongside delicate aromas of lemon, lime, almond and pear. The Chasselas shows cider-like aromas on its long finish.

Terroir

The grapes for the Chasselas come from the Obereggener Sonnenstück. The temperate climate and the light foehn winds ensure ideal conditions for growing wine in the valley.
The Obereggener Sonnenstück is very clearly influenced by these conditions. The heavy clay soils with high humus contents offer the ideal conditions for Pinot Blanc and Gutedel. The Gutedel thrives at approx. 390 m above sea level. M. at the top of the Obereggen Sonnenstück.

Food pairings

White asparagus, fondue, raclette, spicy ceviche
