Grüner Veltliner Pur 2017

The Gruener Veltliner PUR is a so called „Orange Wine“. It was fermented like redwine on the skin and it was no sulphur added during the whole vinification, just before botteling it got a minimal sulphur addition. This is the reason for its amber colour and the name "orange wine". Necessary requirements for such a wine are healthy grapes and stony soil. For the Gruener Veltliner PUR a part of the grapes made 4 days maceration, the other part was 6 weeks on the skin. After spontanous fermentation both parts were racked into a big used oak barrrel for continuing ripening process on the fine yeasts. The result is a spicy-peppery Veltliner with refreshing mineral taste and a long finish.
