The grapes were harvested from a new vineyard in Kirchberg on limestone-marl soil, along with grapes from 60 year old vines in Müllheim. Whole bunches were crushed underfoot and direct pressed, 50% in amphora and the rest in small, used barrels. 5% of the berries were de-stemmed by hand, and added to the amphora to give more structure and tannins. After aging on full lees for around a year, a small dose of sulphur was added before bottling.
On the nose, it has a light reduction reminiscent of Ziesreisen, a winery in Efringen Kirchen in the same region, that played an important role in bringing Gutedel back to popularity. Low alcohol and a fine example of what this grape has to offer, it’s best enjoyed chilled with a large plate of wurstsalat.
