"Staying close to nature is what I do. My only job is to recognise the right moment. For 30 years now, I've been accompanying the grapes on their way from the vineyard to the bottle. I know now: my work mainly consists of observation and ensuring healthy grapes grow in harmony with the surroundings while our farm animals complete the cycle of a lively farm ecosystem." - Andreas Dichristin, Vigneron. Garnellen 2017 Amphora is a beautiful intense straw yellow with golden reflections, the wine develops a fascinating and articulated bouquet. Scents of yellow flowers, cedar, ginger, apricot, aromatic herbs and white pepper as well as balsamic and mineral hints follow and intertwine giving a long progression in the glass. On the palate it is persistent, full-bodied, juicy: the fruits, herbs and spices return and express themselves with intensity. The wine is well balanced by a marked saline minerality, a right freshness and a sweet final astringency personified by a silky and delicate tannic texture.
