Wine Description
This Müller Thurgau is the uncomplicated introduction to the subject of mash fermentation/nature/raw/orange wine.
After the beginning of fermentation, the grapes were pressed after 8 days on the mash and the fermentation was finalised in stainless steel tanks. After 8 months on full lees, the wine was drawn directly into the bottle unfiltered after a minimal addition of sulphur. No hocus-pocus, but a dirty idea right at the start of the party.
