Style - Smashable
The red answer to Weiss! A blend of Portugieser and Scheurebe off clay limestone soils. Partial co-fermentation of the grapes, additionally some portugieser was direct pressed and some Scheurebe macerated. Elevaged in old oak for 10 months prior to blending and bottling. A chilled red here, please don’t serve white wine cold. Sappy and crunchy initially. Energetic with freshness and some sour cherries. As it opens and warms up so do the aromas. Lifted red fruits, gala apples, tangerine. Cherries and goji berries. Expressive, wet stone minerality. A delicious first release. - Vivant Selections.
