Notes & Pairings
I want everyone to sit on the Bott family’s deck overlooking the Danube River and drink wines like this. Made by the 3 layered “Hamburger method.,” this is basically 10-15% foot trodden, 50% whole cluster, and the rest is destemmed. Kept in these layers, everything is macerated for about 10 days in open vats. Gently pressed, it completes fermentation and ages in neutral oak barrels for 8 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is unmistakably Gewürztraminer dominant, but in a juicy, smooth, acid driven and hyper mineral fashion from the Olaszrizling as well. As the name of the wine implies, it’s not meant to be double decanted by a fire reading Nietzsche, it’s meant to be a crowd-pleasing wine that happens to check all of the right boxes.
