2023 Wilde Meute
€18.000.75 l
Tasting
This wine used to be called Drei Freunde, three friends. At some point the friends turned into a pack, Wilde Meute, but the idea hasn't changed: put varieties with minds of their own together and see what they get up to. In 2023 that's equal parts Bacchus and Silvaner, plus 14 % Pinot Gris. Each variety was destemmed and fermented on its own skins for about a week before we let them mingle. The wine then spent around a year and a half on full lees in steel and old wood. Bacchus brings the perfume, Silvaner herbs and drive, Pinot Gris fruit and flesh. In the glass: elderflower, lychee, citrus and coriander, and with air, clove and black pepper. You could spend a long time picking it apart. You don't have to.
