Vintage: 2019

Varietals: Blaufränkisch

Farming: Organic/Biodynamic, Low added SO2

Anita and Hans own a parcel of 30-year-old Blaufränkisch on these slopes of slatey limestone, which yield a wine of remarkably fresh yet deeply penetrating minerality—one in which the gorgeously vivid blue and black fruits are less foregrounded than in the slightly more easygoing “Kalk & Shiefer”. Spontaneously fermented. This spends longer in cask, aging for 18 months in used 500-liter Stockingers before being bottled with minimal sulfur.
