Nibiru Amphibolit Extra Brut 2020 750ml

Biodynamic. 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Blanc. All of the fruit for this sparkler is taken from the Goldnagel - Nibiru's most important vineyard parcel, on one of highest terraces they have, dominated by the dark, glittery, schist-like Amphibolit soils. Vine age is between 30-40 yrs old. The base wine was unfiltered, with no sulfur added, on full lees for one year. Secondary fermentation began in October 2020, with organic cane sugar and organic-approved yeast addition. The wine was then aged on lees in bottle for fifteen months, disgorged in Jan/Feb 2022. 15 mg/l SO2 added at disgorging. Well-known Kamptal natural winemaker Matthias Hager was very helpful to Josef as the latter made this wine over the course of three years; they tasted together on several occasions and shared ideas for how to shape this special sparkler. Deep profile, golden notes and aromas, driven with acidity. An elegant expression of some of Nibiru's best terroir.
