Mature soft and blue cheeses, desserts and fruit. A delicious accompaniment to a freshly baked Valais walnut tart, also marvellous with a mature Vacherin Mont d'Or with pear bread.
The ruby is not only regarded as the stone of life and the guardian of love, it also symbolises power, bravery and dignity. It is hardly surprising that the everlasting flame that burns in the ruby has led to this gemstone being chosen for the midsummer month of July. During this month, the sun gives the vines the necessary strength to drive photosynthesis and thus helps the grapes to achieve the necessary ripeness.
But the ruby is also said to have a magical power which, among other things, strengthens and gladdens the heart and promotes sexual energy. It has already been scientifically proven that a good drop protects the heart. As far as sexual energy is concerned, well, the field is open to you for experimentation.
Complex on the nose with a scent of white truffle and apricot, sweetly blended with a hint of undergrowth. Emotional and warm-hearted, this nectar develops a distinct personality. Its power and dense structure, combined with soft tannins, give it a long-lasting finish.
Natural residual sweetness, late harvest in December to January at 160-180° Öchsle. Vinified in new French oak barrels and matured on the lees. Acid degradation is prevented.
