Mitterberg Kerner Without

“I’ve observed my father making wine for many years. Now the time has come for me to try something out myself, something new, something out-of-the-ordinary. For this wine I selected very ripe, golden yellow grapes from the Vial vineyard.” Michael Sölva

VINIFICATION
20% of the grapes underwent whole cluster fermentation and 80% were destemmed and fermented on the skins in a fermenting cask followed by storage in a used oak barrel. As the name suggests, the wine underwent spontaneous fermentation without the use of sulfur and was bottled without fining and filtering. The bottled wine can accordingly have a natural cloudiness.
