Cinematic Orchestra « To build a home » 2007 ( Ma fleur LP )

A very rare wine sold only in Austria* in a network of connoisseurs, the vineyard is situated in the Niederösterreich region (South) on a plot of altitude (approx. 400 m), very well exposed terraces: I granted this great wine with a piece to the fragility of the sublime to combine its rarity and uniqueness.

Its golden yellow color captivating the delicate envelope line piano monochromatic, then made supernatural androgynous voice echo with the aromatic palette of this noble wine around the Lychee, ripe pineapple and some notes of rose petals.</span<

A great vivacity, straightforward and elegant mouth is reflected in the piano pace coupled with the cinematic strings.

An agreement balanced, delicate wine perfect with the vocal melody satin piece.

*I had the opportunity, thanks to the work of import export of Mr Julien Magniez in a great Bordeaux trading company, to make a vertical of the wines (2009, 2008, 2007, 2003, 2002, 2001) of this illustrious winemaker W. Schwengler. I selected the 2007 vintage for my music and wine agreement to illustrate this hedonistic time.

I also tasted a vintage 2011 of 2 different soils from the great whites by Franz Hirtzberger of the typical grape variety gruner veltiner Austrian winemaker and 2 great red wines very surprising, of the local varietals zweigelt, blaufrankish and pinot noir from the wine-growing area Carnuntum (domain Grassl « Schuttenberg »2010) and Burgenland (field Kollwentz « Point »2009)
