Current condition

Fresh with developing complexity

The 2021 vintage in Kamptal was a warm vintage producing ripe fruit balanced by brisk acidity. The Terrassen vineyards provide rocky soils enhancing minerality and structure. These factors support a 10-15 year drinking window with peak complexity 4-9 years post vintage.

Food pairing

Excellent with seafood (shellfish, trout), Asian cuisine (spicy Thai), light poultry dishes, and fresh goat cheese.
