Heinrich Hartl Rotgipfler 2021

Pale straw-gold with green highlights, impressive for its silken lustre. In the nose, first impression is that of mirabelle plums and honeydew melon with a subtle hint of spring blossoms. Then becoming more intense: orange zest, blossom honey and ripe green apples. On the palate the wine is characterised by piquant acidity and its powerful but polished core of sweet fruit, which describes a lovely arc from green fruits to apples to fresh pineapple. In the finish there's a very persistent impression of blossom honey. Pairs well with fish dishes, grilled vegetables, recipes with Asian spices, roasted chicken provençal, pheasant wrapped in bacon, partridge terrine, lightly ripened cheeses (Beaufort or Bergkäse), nuts.
