Chateau Citran Haut-Médoc AOP 2022

Château Citran 2022 is a red wine full of character from the renowned Haut-Médoc wine-growing area in the Bordeaux region of France. The traditional château, whose origins date back to the 13th century, is one of the most prestigious Crus Bourgeois Supérieurs on the left bank of the Gironde. The vineyard is located not far from the famous Margaux appellation and benefits from gravelly soils and an Atlantic climate, which provided ideal ripening conditions for the 2022 vintage: warm days, cool nights and sufficient rainfall ensured grapes with an excellent balance between fruit, structure and freshness.

The cuvée of Château Citran 2022 is traditionally based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the Cabernet being particularly precise and powerful in this vintage.

In the glass, the wine is a deep purple-red with light violet reflections. The nose is immediately filled with intense aromas of dark berries such as blackcurrants, blackberries and ripe cherries, complemented by subtle hints of orange zest, violets, liquorice, tobacco and subtle roasted aromas from the oak barrel.

On the palate, Château Citran 2022 is supple and structured, with ripe, well-integrated tannins and a fresh, invigorating acidity. The fruit is juicy without being overripe and is accompanied by a fine spiciness and slightly earthy notes. The medium-long finish has an elegant aftertaste of dark chocolate and sweet wood.

The 2022 vintage proves to be extremely successful for Château Citran. Numerous Bordeaux critics attest to the wine's significant qualitative development compared to previous vintages. The ratings of 93/100 points from Falstaff, 92/100 from Suckling and Galloni 90/100 speak for themselves. It has medium to high ageing potential and should develop positively over the next 10 to 15 years.

Château Citran 2022 is a successful, classic Haut-Médoc with a modern twist: fruit-driven, accessible and yet with enough depth and structure for long-term development. An excellent price-performance ratio makes it a recommendable choice for both Bordeaux beginners and experienced connoisseurs.

Birgit Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Lamm 1 ÖTW Kamptal DAC
Birgit Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Lamm 1 ÖTW Kamptal DAC - Elegance from the KamptalWith great care, consistency and flair, Austrian winemaker Birgit Eichinger creates her highly elegant wines with a strong character. She not only puts her head but also her heart into her work and demonstrates her skills in her creations, such as the Grüner Veltliner Lamm Kamptal DAC.The Lamm vineyard is located on the south-eastern part of the Heiligenstein. The terroir is loess-loamy, characterized by the geology in the subsoil by the elements of the Heiligenstein (sandstone, volcanic stone, strong silt content) and the slope leans to the south. The geographical location and the vineyard make it possible to produce exceptional Grüner Veltliners that guarantee elegance and grace.The hand-picked grapes are pressed in October. The resulting must is left on the skins to extract as much aroma as possible from the berry skins. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation and ageing in large and small wooden barrels. The white wine matures for 6 months on the lees, after which it is bottled in August.The Birgit Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Lamm Kamptal DAC is a dry white wine with great potential. The inviting bouquet is characterized by fine blossom honey, a hint of tangerine zest, yellow currants and a delicate scent of white nougat. On the palate, the Grüner Veltliner is juicy, elegantly supported by fine fruit sweetness and yellow drop fruit nuances. Lively acidity, subtle spice aromas with a smoky undertone and hints of beeswax are noticeable. The finish is long-lasting.This wine from Austria is the perfect accompaniment to dishes such as raclette and cheese fondue.
