Notes & Pairings
Grünspitz is what led us to Edgar in the first place. This bottling is a particularly intense middle part of the steep vineyard where rain has washed away the loam leaving mostly gravel. Ripeness is a moving target here and normally takes 6 separate harvests passes due to the grade. The lower part of the vineyard is often up to 4 weeks behind. This 2021 represents the ripeness from the added heat retained in the soil and exposure. Fermented in 600 L barrel and Amphora, it’s simply called “Spitz” and drops the “Grün.” According to Edgar, “it is far away from being green.”
