Riesling Fuchsentanz 2023

Why the name “Fuchsentanz” (“Fox Dance”)? It was inspired by the German expression which directly translates to “where Fox and Rabbit say goodnight”, in other words, a remote place out in the sticks. And that is exactly how we would describe our often quite tranquil region. This extremely drinkable Riesling hails from a gravelly site and a loess-rich Southern slope. In October the grape bunches are hand-picked and then pressed whole in order to conserve the lean and delicate character of the wine. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is left on the lees until bottling in Spring or early Summer. Fuchsentanz is a beautiful composition of cool and warm elements: the gravelly soils lend it citrusy notes whereas the loess contributes apricot aromas. Some years, the wine has a touch of residual sugar, but in principle it is a dry Riesling with high acidity, meant for drinking pleasure.

We love our village of Grossriedenthal. It is the origin and the home of our wines. The surrounding countryside is our little world in which we wine growers farm various different sites. Since 1976, organic farming has been the foundation of our activities today, with biodynamic winemaking becoming part of our philosophy in 2023. We might look back, sideways, but we always keep our sights on the future. With our trust in nature, the joy we feel when working in the vineyards and the passion for making something extraordinary out of our grapes, we are creating wines that say a lot about their origins and about us. Honest, authentic and full of life. We are a member of OETW & Respekt BIODYN.
