L’Ecrù is a natural passito wine produced from Zibibbo grapes. For the vinification of this prestigious label Firriato employs a method of infusion which adds the dried grapes directly to the wine; this is absolutely unique within the field of Italian winemaking. The ‘raisining’ garden at Borgo Guarini forms the backdrop for this unique process. Sun and wind define the estate’s climate, and their combined action determines the natural drying process of the grapes over about 40 days. The slow drying process favours the concentration of fragrances of Mediterranean scrub in each grape. The grapes are then removed from the stalks and put in the wine to infuse, giving L’Ecrù its uniqueness. There are no prolonged, interrupted and restarted fermentations: in contact with the wine the grapes swell up and release their precious aromatic properties, creating an incomparably balanced passito.

€ 29,00 INC. VAT Sweet with balanced acidity, fruit and minerality. Our vineyard in the Kröver Kirchlay with southern orientation has beautiful clay- and slate-rich soils. It is located about 140m above sea level and - although it was only created in 2008 - produces great noble sweet wines. They inspire with an exciting, enlively vivacity and liveliness. The well-weathered slate soils give the wines depth, fruitiness and something exhilarated lightness. Kirchlay wines are therefore very characterised and exciting. Add to cart -
€ 45,00 INC. VATAdd to cartRipe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.

€ 24,00 INC. VATAdd to cartThe 2021 Riesling Alte Reben White Capsule is made from vines with a minimum age of 60 - 90 years and some centenarians. This is a blend of old vine parcels across the Middle Mosel. Here, just a little shake of the glass unleashes a whole chorus of bright citrus. Lime and lemon but also aromatic tangerine dance first on the nose, then on the palate. Zestiness is the name of the game on a slender, dry body that reverberates with citrus aromas. A real bargain full of flavor and depth. (Bone-dry)
