Funkyness: Mild

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: Uni6 – pronounced unisex in German- is a rosé cuvée of Blaufränkisch (80%) and Sankt Laurent. It has a slight fizz and a wild scent at first, let the wine open up if you don’t like these features. The dark colored rosé is fresh and mineral with beautiful red currant, pomegranate and blood orange aromas.

Added S02: Yes

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: This Grüner Veltliner remains for over 2 years in old (neutral) wooden barrels -in the restored vaulted cellar- on the full yeast and is then drawn to the bottle unfiltered with minimal addition of sulfur. Pale golden yellow, multi-layered nose of apricot roast, yeasty spice with a phenolic touch, hints of dried wild thyme and fresh hay. On the palate a creamy texture from yeast aging, but immediately a savory acidity sets in with a fine pepper spice, plus some salty bread crust, quince and grapefruit zest, extremely good draw with proud length, massive finish.
