2024 ROC/Organic Pet Nat Gemischter Satz

Perlwein aus Niederösterreich
Scheurebe (Sämling), Welschriesling, Grüner Vetliner, Pinot Blanc;
Sparkling

This regenerative organic certified Gemischter Satz was hand harvested on August 25th with 8,2g/l acidity and a potential alcohol of only 10,5% ABV. It comes from sandstone and granite soils with a limestone top soil. The wines are 45 years old and therefore had no problem with the warm summer of 2024. This terroir lends the wine a unique minimality that compliments the field blend based primarily on Scheurebe, Welschriesling and Grüner Veltliner.

Tasting notes: intense fresh citrus fruit with green apple and exotic aromas, dry taste with fine bubbles and well balanced fresh acidity and fruity taste. very tasty finish with lots of fruit and flinty aromas.

Winemaking: 24 hours skin contact spontaneous fermentation in 100% 1200l Stockinger barrels before bottling with only 10g/l residual sugar. Therefore this Pet nat has only 2,8 Bar pressure and was not disgorged;
