Schmetterling white wine 2022

The 2022er Schmetterling (butterfly in German), as it is referred to on the consumer label, with lot L-Nr: 002FLOCK23 is a bone-dry blend of Riesling (80%) and Müller-Thurgau (20%) from vines aged between 7 and 70 years in steep vineyards and was fermented without intervention in a mix of tank and oak and bottled with no filtering, no fining, and with very little SO2 added (total SO2 is about 5 mg/l). This hay-colored wine offers a superb nose made of pear, baked apple, citrusy elements, a hint of caraway, curry, and smoky elements. The wine is superbly engaging on the palate, where a fine feel of zesty acidity provides the right cut to juicy and creamy flavors of fruit and smoke. It is beautifully long and driven by a
great fresh side in the finish. This gorgeous dry wine combines alluring immediate “mindless” pleasure with great complexity! Now-2027
