* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With its tiny holdings scattered over many different vineyards, Domaine Auther is able to produce a bewildering array of wines. This from the Kirchweg vineyard is ripe, full of the ripe, condensed flavors that come from a maceration of the whole fruits before fermentation, and just plain delicious. It will benefit from two more years’ aging.

At first sight, this seems to be a semi-sweet wine, but in fact it is just the exotic fruits which make it so rich. Flavors of quince and pineapple add to the liveliness of the wine, while the acidty just gives it balance. It should certainly age well over 5 years or more.

The initials stand for Macération Pelliculaire, the whole bunch soaking of the fruit before pressing. This gives the wine a massive, fat, concentrated character, with an openess that comes from aging in large wooden barrels. There is also acidity but that is subordinated to the richness.
