Added S02: Yes

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: This wine is where Matic has let his passion show. The juice and skins are aged together for 200+ days in a clay amfora, just as the ancients did. The wine is bottled unfiltered, direct from the clay vessel to the bottle, and as such presents with a cloudy deep lemon or orange hue. Upon first nose you’ll find apple or even cider notes to this wine. Given time to breathe the nose will open with lemon, orange blossom, honeysuckle notes and after longer even dried roses. On the palate the wine is dry with a fresh streak of acidity. Because of the aging with the grape skins there’s a slight tannic element to this wine, while reminding you of flavors from orange zest, sweet flowers, and green apple. The long finish leaves you with a pleasant dry feeling and remnants of peach. This is what you’ll want to open when you’re ready to start the party. 100% Riesling⁠.

Tasting Notes: Cuddling in the meadow - what a calm, mild, flattering meadow scent, bright fruit, herbs, quite dreamy, like caresses, associated with a sense of well-being, a touch of nut, and a small exciting shiver, delicate mineral, tart tones. Harmony. Also on the palate: caressing, very delicate touches, flowing movements, everything so fine, the ripe acidity, the bright light yellow, greenish fruit brushes the palate, the fresh, slightly tart, chalky tones like a cool breeze, everything so delicate, so harmonious, there is no imbalance, no urging, no demanding, this is just being, delicately touched, light creamy, and in thought, yet so light. Wonderfully coherent, light Bourgogne Aligoté, of delicate, almost creamy flow.
