Notes & Pairings
The biggest change for this vintage is a new press house that isn’t equipped with a destemmer or a roof. They are aiming for at least a roof for the 2023 harvest. Everything was hand picked whole cluster and foot tread across the board. While still around 5-8 days on the skins, everything was moved by hand in 10L buckets to the press. What resulted was super fast fermentations at low temperatures. Erich said at times you could stick your hand beneath the cap and it was almost cold yet still fermenting away. This is a super fresh, low alcohol and yet super energetic version of the Weiss. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with 10ppm SO2.
