Producer information: Michi's Farm is winemaker Mitchel Gindl's negotiant project (meaning grapes are grown by someone else but fermented by Michael), where he works with other local farmers practicing organic and biodynamic techniques. This family farm dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and is located on the outskirts of a dense oak forest in Michael's childhood town of Hohenruppersdorf—a small village to the east, near Slovakia.
Vinification method: Made predominantly from Austria's most important grape – the lean and herbaceous Grüner-Veltliner, with some Sylvaner, Welschriesling, Chardonnay, and other local bits and bobs he's picked up along the way. After a few weeks of all the grapes on skins, everything starts to sing sweet floral songs & with extended lees aging, the wine gets a tender & luxe mouthfeel. Unfined, unfiltered, with no added SO2.
Tasting notes: light-bodied, honeysuckle, apricot, tangerine, jasmine
