Methods

(Pet Nat Solera, bottled 5.15.2022) Crisp, refreshing, semi-sparkling and bone dry. The wine definitely sees influence from yeast. The lees give the wine a distinctive salty, and sourdough flavor profile. The fruit is a combination of tart apple and white peach. The wine also has a bit of a cheese rind aroma that cleans up well on the palate.

 

Vineyard Notes

Certified organic and Demeter bio-dynamic. Johannes uses Demeter treatments 500 (horn manure), 501 (horn kiesel mountain crystal) and 507 (herbs and valerian to help with frost and vine relaxation). Preparations 501-509 are made on the estate and applied throughout the year. A small group of local winemakers co-produce the fermented manure 30km from the vineyard. Permanent natural grass and floral cover crop between the rows, and different type of herbs under the vines. The grapes are hand harvested in the beginning of September.

Soil Type(s): Loess-sandstone

Production Notes

The Grüner-Veltliner is aged on its lees in steel, the Riesling in 600L wood barrels. This wine is made from half 2021 and half solera juice. The 2021 fermented separately and was then combined to start the beginning of the Solera. The next year, the second fermentation took place with the addition of new juice directly intro the wine from the Solera from the previous year. The fermentation finished completely in bottle, and was never filtered there after. A true Pet Nat. (bottled 5.15.2022)

Fun Facts

This is a very limited bottling that Johannes has agreed to keep making for limited clients just like us! He enlisted the help of his friend Christophe Hoch to harness some sparkling wine expertise. We are excited to work with some of the best young minds in the Austrian wine game and to bring you a collaboration wine from overseas for the first, but not the last time.
