Tasting Notes
Refreshing, fresh citrus and crisp acidity sums up this Austrian white blend. A feel of minerality. Back story - grown biodynamically with minimal intervention in the winery (bit of sulphur), it’s a blend of just about everything white - chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, muscat and riesling. 10% alc. - Michael L
Sepp and Maria Muster took over Sepp's family estate in 2000 after spending time abroad in India and Australia where their fascination with biodynamic farming began. It was obvious to them that soil health is the key to growing the best quality grapes so they quickly converted their estate to biodynamic practices. An easier task than it would normally be as their vineyards had never been treated or sprayed with chemicals. They approach caring for their vines like caring about a friend, supporting them as best they can with the hope their "friends" reward them each year with the highly aromatic bounty of their vineyards.
They work with a mix of varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling, Gelber Muskateller, Morillon (the local clone of Chardonnay), Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch. All planted to the regions Opok soils, a mixture of limestone, clay and silt. The wines are aged in a variety of older barrels and amphora for at least 18 months, with some even being bottled in amphora like vessels too. They are detailed, aromatic, powerful, extremely long, contemplative wines that unfurl with air and time in the glass.
