Tasting Notes: Hand-harvested Grolleau Gris grapes are direct-pressed into a 3000 liter oak vat. After the fermentation, the wine is placed in fiberglass tanks, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. No filtration, no stabilization, just pure fermented grape juice. A light golden color with slight green hues in the glass. In the nose, lightly bruised apples, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with more apple aromas. It’s fresh, fun and slightly funky, with a long finish.

Tasting Notes: This is a cloudy, aromatic white blend from Austrian wunderkind Matthias Warnung. Spontaneous fermentation, unfiltered, and minimal sulphur addition. It's fresh, but grounded by some of the grapes spending two weeks on skins. This white feels slightly reminiscent of sake, with a hint of saltiness and the usual white fruit and floral notes from the Grüner.

Tasting Notes: Lively and spicy white wine with a mineral and saffron taste. For Leon, the vines are planted in clay-heavy soils and the grapes are usually harvested at the end of September. Direct press into 3,000L foudre for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation before racking into smaller, 440L neutral oak barrels. Jean-Baptiste concludes that this is an incredibly age-worthy white wine.

Tasting Notes: It smells intensely of dark cherries, underbrush, bay leaf and allspice. On the palate, it presents an intriguing grip as well as a pleasing acidity, thanks to the partially macerated raps. The body is powerful, though not as overloaded as neighboring Baden vintners. You should give the Pinot Noir Liaison some time in the decanter to give it some air and let it show its full beauty.
