Michael on this wine: “This is only the third time we gave this wine a shot. With our own Regent vineyard struggling, we also picked some biodynamically farmed grapes from a friend.”
Grape: Regent (a dark-colored German hybrid)
Vineyard: Theilheim, shell limestone. Biodynamic farming.
Making of: the grapes were hand-harvested in September 2018. Whole bunches were covered with destemmed & crushed berries. The must fermented to juice within two weeks and was left to macerate for another week before it was pressed and gently moved to old barriques. Racked only at bottling which took place in March 2020. Unsulfured, unfiltered, unfined.
Personality: a unique cuvée with warmth, fruit and body but still low in alcohol (11.5% ABV). Intense dark cherries and ripe raspberries with some spicy hints.
