Tasting
From 2022, Kleine Heimat became Zweite Heimat. New name, same vineyard: Silvaner on Keuper, higher up than almost all our other parcels, and Heimat's counterpart from day one. 2022 was hot and dry, and it shows. More ripeness, more colour, more phenolic grip than the year before. Ten days on the skins, a year on full lees in a Stückfass, a 1,200-litre cask, then steel until it was finally allowed into bottle in April 2025. The long rest did it good: everything has drawn closer together without the wine feeling finished. Pear and herbs are back, riper and warmer, over a soft but clearly present tannin, with enough acidity to keep it on its toes. Fuller than its predecessor, and just as easy to like.
