2021 Kleine Heimat
€23.000.75 l
Tasting
Kleine Heimat is our Silvaner from the other side. Nearly all our vineyards are on Muschelkalk; this one sits on Keuper, three hundred metres up and a fair way from the rest of our working week. We liked it straight away anyway. Or maybe because of that. The vines date from 1989, and Silvaner takes on softer contours here than in Heimat without losing its tension. 2021 was cool and wet. The grapes stayed delicate, the acidity fresh, and seven days on the skins gave the wine shape rather than weight. It then rested in a large cask and was bottled in April 2023. Today it's as open as a good conversation: pear, herbs, juicy acidity and a tannin that carries rather than brakes. From 2022 on, this wine is called Zweite Heimat.
