WagramRiesling Ried Eisenhut 1ÖTW 2020

In October the grapes are hand-picked and then whole bunch pressed and clarified for a short amount of time. After spontaneous fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, the wine remains on the lees for a further 18 months. In terms of its flavour profile, Eisenhut offers a rather unusual minerality for loess-grown grapes. The fruit is not nearly as ripe as in Goldberg, and the wine appear more austere and lean. Its tight acidic structure makes the Eisenhut somewhat “meaner” than its Goldberg cousin.
