Ein sehr komplexer Wein mit intensivem, spannendem Säuregerüst. Dicht auf dem Gaumen mit grosser lebendiger Vielschichtigkeit. Tropische Fruchtnoten vermischen sich mit mineralischen Noten.



For me the 2008 Palladius, on a personal level, is a very special wine, as it has kept me on my knees since it was fermenting for 14 months. In that time the wine gained complexity every month and the structures and flavours just became more firm as it went on. It was the first time I had to wait so long for bottling and we had all in all 18 months of ageing in both these new concrete oval egg-shaped tanks as well as 500 litre used casks. The wine has a very limey and opulent tropical flavour with the usual stone fruit characters. The structural stability of this wine suggests that it will age very well and we anticipate that the wine will be in good standing in at least another 15 years. On the pallet the wine is dense and with a fantastic acidity, holding the wine in a very persistent finish that just lingers on. It is almost an “inside-out ” wine in a holistic way of speech.
