Tasting
Heimat is our Silvaner from the Muschelkalk hill near the yard, planted in 1984, destemmed and fermented on the skins, a year in a Halbstück, then steel. So far, so every year. Except 2023 wasn't 2022. It was wetter, and Heimat came out differently. The colour gives away the skins at once, while the nose keeps its cards close at first. On the palate there's depth, a firm mineral frame and fine phenolic tension, with herbal, slightly bitter notes beside the fruit. The skins are clearly there, but they don't push the Silvaner aside. A vintage that isn't telling everything yet. We're betting on many good years ahead.
