Weingut Edgar Brutler Spitz 2022 750ml

Organic. 100% Grünspitz. Drawn from the particularly intense middle and upper sections of the Brutler family’s steepest vineyard where rain has washed away the surface topsoils of loam, leaving mostly gravel behind. Ripeness is a moving target in this special swath of vineyard; it normally takes up to six separate harvests passes due to the steepness of the grade. The lower part of this vineyard is often up to four weeks later than this piece that goes into ‘Spitz.’ Fermented in a combination of 600L barrel and 300L amphora. Unfined, unfiltered, with 10ppm SO2 added just before bottling. Majestic wine and barely showing “skin contact” as we might understand it; wildly different from some burly and structured types of macerated wines; this is Edgar’s riper version of the very wiry & bright grape variety.
