<p>ORGANIC / BIODYNAMIC / VEGAN / NO ADDED SULPHITES</p><p>Layers of rustic bramble fruit and intense minerality with a level of finesse that only Christian can bring. A real treat, extremely refined and classic. Very refreshing body and a great supporting acidity. Light but complex – just pure fun.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>Origin: Neusiedlersee, AustriaVintage: 2019Grape variety: Pinot Noir Food pairing: Beef, Lamb, Pork, Spicy food, Mature, hard or blue cheese, PoultryBottle size: 75clABV: 12%</p>
