GRAPE: 100% GRÜNER VELTLINER
SKIN CONTACT: 1 MONTH
REGION: NIEDERÖSTERREICH, AUSTRIA
Vinification method: The Grüner Veltliner grapes in "Alternative Orange" are hand harvested in multiple vineyard sweeps. The vineyard has a loess soil foundation and vines planted in 1962 and 1979. The grape "mash" macerates for 4 weeks and the resulting wine is then used without pressing the grapes. The wine ages further in steel tanks for about a year. The bottle was deliberately filled to be very cloudy in order to preserve the wine's original character. Bottled with zero addition of sulfur, unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting notes: medium-bodied, clementine, green mango, grapefruit, smoke, lees-y round mouthfeel, grippy tannins, mineral finish.
Pairing: Panzanella salad with nectarine and burrata
Mix and match 3, 6 or 12 bottles!
