Myślę, że wypiliśmy tę flaszkę. Pachniało nawet ciekawie, ale smak pozostawiał do życzenia. O równowadze SuperRaminsty (czyli Grape from the Block) mogła tylko pomarzyć. Surowe i twarde. Tak Ramnistę opisują na stronie producenta: The vineyards used for Ramnista have an overall southeast exposure at an altitude of 280-330 m. The estate is divided into a mosaic of 33 vineyard blocks of different microclimate with varying exposure, orientation, slope, soil type, rootstock, vine density and age. Almost all exposures and soil types are encountered within the estate demanding tailor-made viticultural practices for each vineyard block. Rainfall is abundant during the winter months, but summers are so dry that regulated drip irrigation is applied to prevent water stress. Vine density ranges from 3.500 to 4.000 per hectare and the average crop yield is maintained below 2.5 kg per vine. About 5% of the estate is planted with various rare indigenous and international varieties for experimental purposes. For "Ramnista" we use grapes mostly from the vineyard blocks in the lower pH range and with lighter soil types to maximize the aromatic intensity and complexity. Moreover most of these blocks are closest to the nearby forest, where the more humid microclimate leads to a more tempered ripening pace. A tak piszą o nowszym roczniku 2004: Ripe, rich, complex and intense. This vintage has found its balance at elevated acidity and alcohol levels with robust tannins that create a long finish. Its concentrated bouquet of red fruit and pralines when young, evolves into hints of sun-dried tomato, black olive, truffle and sandalwood. A perfect match to lamb and game, the 2004 Ramnista can age gracefully up to 15 years.
