Claus Preisinger
Ancestral 2022
A wine that tastes as if you're actually biting into a fresh cherry. It's a sparkling wine that's just as much about the texture as it is about the wine: it's crunchy, zippy and explosively refreshing. Just by drinking this wine, you'll mentally be taken to a picnic in a meadow, surrounded by wildflowers, eating wild strawberries and apricots.
From Claus' biodynamic vineyards in the Burgenland, Austria, this is from the indigenous Sankt Laurent grape variety, planted on gravel-limestone soils. Fermented naturally in large old oak barrels, this was bottled before it had finished fermenting, hence creating a sparkling wine, pét-nat style. No sulphur added.
