Wasenhaus 'Bellen' Weissburgunder 2023

Wasenhaus 'Bellen' Weissburgunder 2023Notes from the winemakers: "A single vineyard Pinot Blanc from steep slopes, grown on limestone clay soil in Kirchhofen. The vines are more than 50 years old, pressed as whole clusters, fermented in used French oak barrels and aged for one year on its full lees in barrel and another half year in stainless steel on its entire lees"

"We have not been influenced by people but by the call of nature

up to 50 years old

It's one of the best vintages I've had in recent years

Claus was destined to be a winemaker

zippy wine with earthy ginger and bruised apple notes

Palomino is not a high acid grape but this retains a bright clarity that adds to the tension and layers at play

Until this year

but easily the most dramatic and moving vineyard I've ever been in

and red plum

Composed of 96% Chambourcin

thirst-quenching response while playfully engaging your more analytical neurons with originality and sense memories of berry foraging by a mountain lake
