Weiss N°11 - Weingut Strohmeier

Weiss N° 11  - Weingut Strohmeier

Weiss N ° 11 is the eleventh white wine produced, in fact the wines of Weingut Strohmeier are numbered consecutively. It is a wine of incredible depth obtained from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, harvested when fully ripe, and Pinot Blanc. Fermentation is spontaneous with 9 months maceration on the skins in wooden barrels. It is not filtered before bottling. Weiss N ° 11 is a wine full of character, soft, silky, slightly tannic and with a long finish.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in a tulip glass. Wine should be drunk immediately but can give fantastic emotions if kept for a few years.

Pairing

Excellent when paired with cold cuts, first courses. Try it with risottos and stuffed pasta.

Winery: Weingut Strohmeier

The Strohmeier winery is located in Lestein, a small Austrian town nestled in the Styrian nature park. The company is managed by the Strohmeier family Christine and Franz, who since 2006 have cultivated 10 hectares of vineyards according to the principles of biodynamics. The philosophy of the Strohmeiers is based on the concept of symbiosis (Greek: sym = together - bios = life) and gives each organism its authorization for life, from single-celled plants and animals to highly developed ones. In its vineyards we find native vine plants such as the Blauer Wildbacher, the Zweigelt, the Muskateller, but also international vines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. In the cellar Franz follows the same philosophy adopted in the vineyard, spontaneous fermentation, no filtration or use of solforsa during the entire wine-making process. The composition of Strohmeier wines changes from year to year depending on how the year went; for this reason on the label we find the name of the wine followed by a number indicating the number of vintages it has arrived.
