Steinkauz
Steinkauz is our Silvaner Pétillant Naturel from one of our old Silvaner vineyards. On this limestone site, we typically harvest in two passes. The first is an early pick aimed at freshness and acidity, with the grapes going straight into the press.
The second pick is destemmed and crushed, followed by a short skin maceration of a few days. After pressing, both juices are blended and the wine is bottled with around 9 g/l of residual sugar to finish fermentation in the bottle.
Once fermentation is complete, the wine is disgorged by hand, gently and warm, the following spring.
The result is a deep, earthy Pétillant Naturel with citrus and herbal notes. Refreshing yet complex, and capable of aging gracefully.
