    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Rausch GG shows a mix of ripe appley fruits and a herbal touch on the nose. The palate is nicely animated with a fine acidity peppered with savoury notes of fennel and pink rock salts and a slatey herbal tang to the ripe finish. Fermented and aged in a 10-year-old fuder barrel until April and then moved to a newer neutral barrel for the last three months of ageing. From two plots: a tiny 0.4ha section of the vineyard planted in 1880 that remains, despite some obvious replanting, entirely ungrafted, and a “younger” 50-year-old block.
