Falstaff

Disgorged 12/2023. Light, bright copper gold colour. Bouquet of rosehip, blood orange, fresh cherry cake and Earl Grey tea, accompanied by nuances of Black Forest bacon and rooibos. Delicate, fine foam with juicy acidity and red fruit pulp coat the palate with a full-body. Juicy, straightforward, with a long finish, characterised by fine hints of tobacco and chalk. A full-bodied accompaniment to food.

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Brilliant copper colour. Red fruit aroma of preserved cherry, orange confit, rose hip and delicate brioche notes. Powerful, structured on the palate with piquant acidity, finely peppery underpinned and mineral character. Good length on a finely tart, subtle phenolic finish. Goes well with strong dishes.
