Briem Vectum Grauburgunder & Chardonnay 2021 Kaiserstuhl (75cl, 13.8%)

Vectum is an assemblage from Weingut Peter Briem, a cuvée of selected grape parcels from the estate, bottled unfiltered in strictly limited quantity. Grauburgunder gives powerful body, while Chardonnay brings polish, elegance and fine citrus with roasted aromas. It is fermented and matured in a new 500-litre tonneau, stirred daily by hand (bâtonnage), aged on the fine lees and clarified without filtration. The wine grows on the warm, mineral-rich soils of the Kaiserstuhl. It is a wine of rare creaminess: full-bodied, with fine vanilla and roasted aromas that form a long, balanced line on the palate. Creamy and elegant, with a finish that lingers.
