Julien RenardCuvée Renard 2024 (750ml)

The 2024 Cuvée Renard (the reference to the name is, as usual for this Estate, only provided on the back label) with lot number L: 24CUV is a bone-dry wine made from Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, and Weissburgunder, respectively from own grapes harvested in Winningen as from purchased grapes from a befriended grower in Rheinhessen. It was fermented and aged on its gross and fine lees in mostly stainless steel for 17 months without any intervention before being bottled unfiltered and with minimal SO2 added. This hay-white-colored wine offers a beautiful nose made of white peach, pear, apricot blossom, a hint of mango, white flowers, and fine spices. The wine is nicely playful with superbly elegant acidity adding structure to delicately creamy and finely chiseled fruity flavors on the palate. It leaves a superb feel of fresh fruits and fine minerals in the mouthwatering and gorgeously tart finish. A hint of apricot blossom adds a welcome whiff of creaminess to the citrus and tart aftertaste. This is a superb dry wine to enjoy over the coming years.
