Varietals: Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch
Farming: Organic/Biodynamic, Unfined/Unfiltered, No added SO2
Birdscape is made with what Christian calls “Pink Maceration,” a very light extraction with just a small amount of contact with the skins, to result in a very dark rosé, or perhaps a very light red wine. Nose is red currant, white cherry, and forest floor. Med body, light tannins, but full of life. Textural, aromatic, saline, mineral. Crunchy acidity brings tart red fruits. Graphite finish.
Grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and crushed by foot. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. Christian made just one 3000 liter barrel of this wine. Unfined/Unfiltered. It is bottled without sulfur.
