Tasting Notes: Blaufränkisch from 60 year old vines, spontaneously fermented and 4 years in wooden barrels on the yeast - a natural wine evolution! On the nose pencil, elderberry toast, juniper and laurel, fine animalism (no contradiction), leather. On the palate a powerful texture with lots of extract from the old vines, yet cool and elegant, dense but not opulent, a great mouthfeel, the acidity balanced and perfectly supported by the tannin, sour cherries with a bit of black pepper in the finish, only minute toasty notes.

Tasting Notes: A refreshingly lively natural wine made from Pinot Blanc and Muskat Ottonel. Initially nutty, smoky, herbaceous and ethereal on the nose. With time, the wine opens up and shows fruity aromas of quince, pear and exotic fruits. Very lively, fresh and juicy on the palate. The Weisze Freyheit has a nice balance between profundity and lightness. Decant in advance.

Tasting Notes:  This Grüner Veltliner is an other masterpiece from Mathias Warnung. It is incredibly profound and complex, yet it is so lively and youthful that you would never conclude that it is so mature. The oxidative ageing can be felt discreetly, but it expresses itself more with wax, pear and spicy aromas. The structure is vibrant, salty and intense, there is dense grip and also power, plus youthful freshness and terrific tension.

Tasting Notes: Harvested and selected by hand, the wine is fermented using only the yeasts found naturally on the grape skin. The grape marc is left in the juice during fermentation, imparting a beautiful golden color to the wine. Vinification takes place in cement tanks, while maturation is carried out in terracotta jars from Impruneta and in acacia and chestnut barrels.

Our Verment'oro has an intense yellow color, with aromas of yellow fruit and medicinal herbs. The wine pairs well with bold foods such as pasta with vegetables, white meats, oily fish, and cheeses.
