Pét Nat Brut 2023

Blend of Neuburger, Müller-Thurgau, and Riesling from 3 vineyards with limestone-clay rich soils. The grapes are hand-picked, and then macerated for about three hours before being carefully pressed. The must undergo almost the whole fermentation with its indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks. In a late stage of fermentation – which is called “Sturm” in Austria – the unfinished wine is filled to continue the fermentation inside the bottle. This is how the carbon dioxide comes and stays inside. After 6 months, the bottles are riddled and disgorged to reduce the turbidity. For the dosage they use Gelber muskateller.
