von der Vogelwaide Weinland Riesling Tandaradai 2020 750ml

Organic. 100% Riesling. This wine is one of the top two bottlings at Vogelwaide, selected from their very best and oldest vineyard parcels; here the very steep, stone-terraced vineyard sites are called Biern and Trauntal. Whole-cluster pressed into 100% neutral French 350L barrels. No maceration is done to prevent extraction of too much potassium. Spontaneous fermentation, unfined/unfiltered. Aged in the same barrels for 12 months on full lees. This vintage is super high-toned, with savory herbs and a pronounced smoky minerality. The word 'Tandaradai' is a medieval Austro-German word: onomatopoeia for the sound of the flapping of a bird’s wings.
