Kalkundkiesel weiss 2022 is a skin contact wine made with Grüner Veltliner, Muskateller and Pinot Blanc. ‘Kalk and Kiesel’ translates as ‘limestone and gravel’ - and this wine is a fine example of its terroir. Aged in used oak and amphora (Claus was the first Austrian to use Georgian qvevri) it’s a serious, light amber wine with a fresh citrus feel alongside structure and great tannins. Drink at 10-12 degrees with a dish garnished with capers and parmesan.
