Production Details Fruit came from terraced Wachau vineyards on poor primary-rock soils. The vineyards were farmed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides, and harvested by hand. Spontaneous fermentation in amphorae lasted about five weeks, followed by five months on the mash—about six months in amphora overall. The wine was carefully drawn off and the remaining mash gently hand-pressed in a small hydraulic press. It was bottled unfiltered without added sulphur.
Tasting Notes
Nose: beeswax, honeydew melon, exotic fruit
Palate: fine tannins, racy acidity, stone fruit, bitter chocolate, dense, astringent, complex, very long finish
Food Pairing fried branzino with asparagus risotto, pizza frutti di mare, Austrian meat patties with mashed potatoes, Tafelspitz with apple-horseradish and chive sauce, spicy Indian fish curry
