Type: White WineProducer: Christian Tschida Country: AustriaRegion: BurgenlandGrape: Gruner Veltliner Year: 2016Farming: Organic Christian Tschida has the great fortune to cultivate 14 hectares of old vines, some of which have been with his family for 4 generations. Christian takes a hands-off approach to winemaking, The wines spend a great deal of time in barrel in contact with oxygen. All of Christian's wines are made without any additions of sulfur. The wines are never racked, and everything is bottled by hand to preserve the freshness of the wine and leave a little residual carbon dioxide to aid preservation.The Gruner Veltliner is hand-picked and pressed. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. Some barrels remain in contact with the skins for a short amount of time. It spends 1 year aging in barrel and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.Fresh and complex, notes of green apple, spices like clove and allspice, and a slightly creamy texture, this wine is clean, elegant, with a long finish.
