Description

Meinklang Österreich "Foam Weiß" 2021

Meinklang Österreich "Foam Weiß" 2021 is a macerated Pinot Gris Pet Nat. Cloudy, delicious and complex. Aromatic and fruity nose of rhubarb, peach, pineapple, strawberry and banana with hints of white pepper and smokiness.

Ageing potential: Up to 4 years!

100% Pinot Gris. The vines grow in the sandy soils of Meinklang's certified organic and biodynamic vineyards located in Pamhagen, Austria. Pamhagen is in the middle of the (World Heritage Site) National Park Neusiedlersee, on the Eastern side of the Neusiedlersee Lake, bordering directly on the Hungarian lowlands. The vineyards are fertilised with compost produced on the farm using sheep, cow and horse manure, pomace, green waste and occasionally also rock dust.

Vinification in stainless steel tanks, no disgorging and bottle fermentation.

Youthful & Spritzy Sparklings

Light, citrus driven & fun, a lot of these sparklings tend to have floral or tree fruit aromas like green apples. In more crisp styles, they are often more floral or citrus driven, and can be slightly sweet in more apple or pear driven fizzante styles

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
