2021 Fruhroter Veltliner Orange 11.5% vol., Georg Schmelzer, ORGANIC

AT-BIO-302 Hand-picked, destemmed, 8 weeks of maceration in small oak barrels, spontaneous fermentation using our own wild yeast, using only strained must, and 18 months of aging in small oak barrels. Bottled without added SO2 and unfiltered, it is drawn by muscle power and gravity. In the glass, it has a light amber color and a delicate aroma of herbs and ripe citrus fruits. On the palate, it is intense with a fresh acidity. A long finish. Until 2020, the wine was called `Schlicht undgreifend` (Simply and Poignant); from 2021, it will have a new name: Fruhroter Veltliner.
