Grape: Gruner Veltliner and Zweigeltrebe
Vineyard: loess, planted in 1962 and 1979
Cellar: The Gruner grapes are destemmed, gently pressed, and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Bottled according to the Méthode Ancestrale while the fermentation is still going, unfined and unfiltered, with zero addition of sulfur. Disgorged `dirty` to preserve its slight haze, in the following spring. The Zweigelt grapes get a few hours of maceration on skins and the free-run juice is then fermented into still red, which is added to the bottle after its disgorgement.
Personality: Raspberry & sour cherry lightness.
