2024 Steinkauz

Tasting
We've been making a Silvaner pét-nat since 2015, and Steinkauz wants two things at once: the freshness of grapes pressed straight away and the depth Silvaner gains from a few days on its skins. 2024 didn't make it easy. The late frost took so much that part of the Silvaner had to come from another vineyard. About a third spent eight days on the skins, the rest was pressed directly. The wine went into bottle in September with a little sugar left and finished fermenting there; the following April we disgorged every bottle by hand. Citrus, orange peel, herbs and a fine peppery note. The skins add something savoury and earthy that suits Silvaner, and the bubbles are gentle. A pét-nat with depth, which for this grape is no contradiction.
