Description

“This wine is a sort of tribute to my Australian mentor, with whom I started to work on orange wines.”

Grape: Riesling

Vineyard: Old head-trained vines on steep slopes. Grey and blue slate, very poor soil. Farmed biodynamically by Petra herself.

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented as whole bunches for 270 days, without any manipulation at all (no mixing, no pumping, no stomping). Pressed and aged on lees for 350 days. Indigenous yeast only, no fining, no filtration, zero sulfur added.

Personality: another thinking piece! Lovely copper haze gives away its maceration pedigree, notes of stewed pineapple, spices and apple strudel. Smooth tannins and lovely vivid grip. Share with fellow wine nerds to enjoy discovering the layers of taste and communal geeking out.
