Grape Growing: Certified organic and Demeter bio-dynamic. Johannes
uses Demeter treatments 500 (horn manure), 501 (horn kiesel mountain
crystal) and 507 (herbs and valerian to help with frost and vine
relaxation). A small group of local winemakers co-produce the
fermented manure 30km from the vineyard. Needless to say, all grapes
are manually harvested.
Winemaking: 50% Chardonnay (intercellular fermented in 500 lt
amphoras to 5.5-6%). After intercellular, it is co-fermented with 25%
Scheurebe the rest of the way (short must fermentation). Finished with
25% Riesling (Solera-system of vintages 2013, 2014 and 2015).
Untreated, unfiltered with zero sulfur addition.
More About the Wine: The "Solera-System" of Riesling which has been
built up since 2013 gives character to this wine. Structure comes out of
the must fermentation of Chardonnay from selected berries and grapes
which is done in amphoras of 500 liters. The revolutionary taste of this
wine is the result of nothing added nothing removed winemaking.
