ORGANIC / BIODYNAMIC / VEGAN / NO ADDED SULPHITES

Layers of rusticbramble fruit and intense minerality witha level of finesse that only Christian can bring. A real treat, extremely refined and classic. Very refreshing body and a great supporting acidity. Light butcomplex – just pure fun.

The vines (100% Pinot Noir) for this wine are 40 years old and hand-harvested before being de-stemmed and crushed by foot. The juice ferments in two large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends one year ageing in a barrel and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulphur.

Christian cultivates 10 hectares of old vines in the Neusiedlersee region. This area of Burgenland has a unique microclimate due to the moderating influence of the huge lake Neusiedl. Christian has a very hands-off approach in his vineyards, preferring to let nature take its course. His wild-looking parcels are instantly recognisable overgrown with cover crops that both preserve biodiversity in the vineyards and force the vines to bury their roots deep into the soils in search of nutrients.
