Kalkundkiesel Weiss 2023

A skin-contact gem with a unique upbringing! Weissburgunder, Grüner Veltliner, along with a small percentage of other white varietals, spend a short time fermenting on skins, resulting in a light, honey-colored wine, with a lovely balance of stone fruit and a bit of structure. Elegant and zesty but with an extra layer of depth.

The wine comes from Claus' biodynamic vineyards in the Burgenland, Austria. As the name suggests, this is a blend from various plots around Lake Neusiedl - some on limestone (Kalk in German) and some on pebbles (Kiesel in German).

Fermentation took place on the skins, and the wine was aged on its lees in old barrels for eight months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
