2020 WILDER SATZ
This cuvée features grapes from several vineyards around their hometown. Each variety was treated differently to best capture its character. Pinot Blanc (24%), Sylvaner (7%), and Chardonnay (12%) undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration after crushing. Müller Thurgau (21%) and Pinot Gris (6%) undergo and even longer pre-fermentation maceration, up to two days. Riesling (12%) was direct pressed and Kerner (8%) was macerated with Riesling juice. After fermentation and a short élevage the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered without sulphur. 10.5% ABV
FLORA
This tiny 1.5-acre parcel is planted on pure limestone. The vines are over sixty years old which limits yields and increases intensity. Constant winds keep the grapes relatively free from mildew without relying on excessive spraying. The grapes were mostly fermented on skins in open top oak tank with traditional cap management, while 30% was fermented carbonically. This wine also sees 10% wine from the previous vintage which smooths out year to year variations and gives a clearer picture of the sites true character. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered without sulphur.
