Winemaker’s note: “Gruner Veltliner from our oldest vineyard which is cultivated according to the minimal pruning system. This allows us to achieve a higher proportion of skins to juice, perfect for skin contact wine. ”
Vineyard: loess, planted in 1962 and 1979
Grape: Gruner Veltliner
Cellar: The hand-harvested grapes are destemmed, gently stomped, and fermented spontaneously on skins for ~3 weeks. The free-run juice is then aged in a steel tank for about a year. The wine is deliberately bottled with a significant proportion of the lees to keep its original character. Unfined and unfiltered, with zero addition of sulfur.
Personality: structure and tannins that you would expect in reds, but with the freshness and fruitiness of white grapes! Fresh aromas of green tea, citrus fruit, and herbs dance on fine tannins and lingering bright finish.
