Schodl Roter Muskateller Bloody Muscat 2023 750ml

Certified Organic w/ biodynamic principles. 100% Roter Muskateller. The Roter is sourced entirely from the Schödl estate vineyard In den Kreuthern, on chalky loess soils. The grapes were fully skin-fermented in stainless steel for about 10 days, then pressed off into one 1300L oak cask for malolactic fermentation and seven months of élevage on full lees. (The barrel is pretty special for this wine: it's a fuder from 2012 made of local Weinviertel oak--the Schödl siblings' father’s 50th birthday cask.) Unfined/unfiltered, 10 mg/l SO2 at bottling. Pale fuschia in color, zesty, floral, pink peppercorn aromatics. The Schödls have done some harvests in South Africa, where their pals call everything 'bloody;' hence the name/wink toward Red Muskat.
