No botrytis, spontaneous fermented, 36 hours on the mash with berries, bottled in October 2017. Once upon a time Krems was afflicted by a horrible famine. But there was still one rich winemaker who had vineyard but nothing to eat. When he heard of a farmer who owned a dog he swapped his best vineyard for this dog to get something on the table for his family. Since then this vineyard is called Steiner Hund (Dog), where a stoneloaf of bread still reminds of the big famine.SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATION. 36 HOURS MASH TIME - 300M HIGH; SOUTH FACED ON 10 TERACESS IN A BAY; CONGLOMERATE; 0-1M LOAM WHICH SAVES WATER VINES 16-80 YEARS OLD – A FARMER SOLD HIS DOG FOR THIS WINEYARD
