Herzanovi, Gruner Veltliner Black Label 2019 750ml

Personality: A compelling image of its grape variety. This Veltliner is juicy (think pineapple, ripe apples, Meyer lemon) and pleasantly peppery.

Vineyard: Loess with sand and humus, planted in 1997 and 2009. Biodynamically farmed by Jakub & co themselves.

Making of: The grapes were harvested by hand. 15% spent 9 months on skins in qvevri, 25% fermented in stainless steel tanks (few hours of maceration in the beginning), and 60% fermented in older (5th use) French oak barriques. Bottled with a little bit of sulfur (total sulfur in bottle 38ppm).
