GRAPES: 100% GEWÜRZTRAMINER
SKIN CONTACT: ~14 DAYS
REGION: PFALZ, GERMANY
Producer: Georg Lingenfelder farms in the Pfalz, where his family has grown grapes for some 500 years across fourteen generations. He makes a range of natural wines with a deliberately minimalist hand — hand-picked, wild-fermented, no fining, and only a whisper of sulfur at bottling.
Vinification: This orange Gewürztraminer is given around two weeks on its skins, often with stems, and ferments spontaneously with vineyard yeasts before being raised in used Pfalz barrique. Hand-picked, with no fining and only a tiny addition of sulfur (about 25 mg/L) just before bottling.
Tasting notes: medium-bodied, rose petal, lychee, pink grapefruit and ginger spice, with a gentle grip
Pairings: roast duck, spiced roasted cauliflower, Munster
DRINK: NOW TO 2029
