Information about the wine

The naturweiss is a cuvée of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Silvaner, and Müller-Thurgau, with the Riesling tending to set the tone. The biodynamically farmed grapes were hand-picked in several harvests to achieve the golden cut, an early golden colour, and then spontaneously fermented and aged in barrels of various sizes. Depending on the grape variety and batch, the maceration times also varied; in some cases, whole bunches were fermented. The non-temperature-controlled warm fermentation continued until oxygen depletion occurred. Malolactic fermentation then took place in the barrel, and the wine was partially aged there under a very clean, reductive Flor yeast.

Colour

Golden yellow with green reflections

Nose

What a beautiful, natural-looking nose: Here you’ll find meadow herbs, lemons and lemon zest, grapefruit and quince, peach and apricot, surrounded by fine flor yeast and a hint of sweet pastry.

Palate

On the palate, all signs point to freshness, juiciness, and drinkability. The acidity provides tension, the aging method creates a salty, drinkable flow, and the flor yeast adds wild elements that combine with the cool juiciness to create a unity with the herbal notes and zest.
