3/7/2024 - rcb25 Likes this wine:
Liquid minerals in a glass. Flint, crushed rocks, grilled lemons make way for some green apple, fennel and almond notes. Slight resinous, oily quality to it. This is a rich, textural wine, yet there’s real verve and tension to the wine with the mineral components and acidity. Paired fabulously with some fresh seafood. Very curious to revisit this with some age to it and try more from this producer in the future.
ABV: 13.0%
Closure: twin top
Decant: N/A; consumed over ~3h
Stem: Grassl Liberte
Extra info: manually harvested and directly pressed with whole bunches. Half spontaneously fermented in barrels and raised in two old 400L barrels; the other half in stainless steel. Fined for turbidity with a small amount of SO2 being added

Lots of VA that made this undrinkable unfortunately
