Pinot Blanc LEITHABERG DAC, Old Vines 2022 BIO

Quality wine; 0,75 litre; contains sulphites

Old vines are the happiness of every winemaker. They take deep root and lend a lasting voice to their natural conditions. Most of the Pinot Blanc vines were planted 60 years ago by my grandfather in the limestone of the Seeberg, and a few were planted by my great-grandfather 90 years ago. My task today is to finish telling the story that began with these two.

After a two-day maceration period, I press the must and let it ferment in stainless steel tanks. Later, I move 2/3 into 500-litre wooden barrels and 1/3 into the clay amphora, where it matures and builds up a concentrated and juicy texture over time. And the aromas also develop, so that in the end you encounter a multi-layered spectrum of nutty, floral and fruity notes.
