Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Blanc from 40 year old vines grown on crystalline primary rock, the bedrock of the Leithaberg, which appears here as heavily weathered mica schist, supplemented by sand and marl with a medium lime content
Taste Profile: Intense straw yellow. Herbal notes of fennel and chervil dominate on the nose, along with lime blossom and subtle citrus and yellow apple aromas in the background. Extra dry on the palate with only 1.1 g residual sugar, distinctive, well-integrated acidity that perfectly balances the strong body. Complex aromas of flowers and herbs are also repeated on the palate, the fruit resonates discreetly. In the finish, subtle tannins resonate, giving the wine structure.
Winemaking Process: The wine was fermented spontaneously in used barrels and also underwent malolactic fermentation in them. It was then stored in steel tanks for 6 months and bottled without filtration. The wine thus shows a slight cloudiness, which provides additional shelf life for unsulphured wine
From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
