Illusion Eins trocken - Meyer-Näkel

The barrel-aged Illusion One from the wine-growing region the Ahr reveals itself in the glass in bright copper gold. The nose of this Meyer-Näkel Blanc de Noir shows all sorts of plums, quince, apples, morello cherries and pears. As if that weren't already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds more aromas like sun-warmed rocks and forest floor.

The Meyer-Näkel Illusion One presents itself to the wine connoisseur wonderfully dry. This Blanc de Noir never appears coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the high quality wine range. On the tongue, this balanced Blanc de Noir is characterized by an incredibly melting texture. With its lively fruit acidity, Illusion One is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this Blanc de Noir from the wine-growing region of the Ahr finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of nashi pear and plum show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sandstone and slate join in.
