Naked White 2021 - Weingut Heinrich

Naked White - Weingut Heinrich

Naked White by Weingut Heinrich is a wine made up of almost 70% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Blanc and a few other white grape varieties from the eastern part of Lake Neusiedl. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration for one night, aging on its own fine lees for 14 months in large used oak barrels. The wine is finally bottled without filtration, clarification or addition of sulfur. Before tasting it, you need to shake the bottle a little and let the wine take a lot of air in the glass. A rather interesting Austrian rock wine. 

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in Tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but will express the best of itself in a few years.

Pairing

This wine is great with starters, first fish dishes, to try with a mayonnaise trout.

Cellar:  Weingut Heinrich

Weingut Heinrich's company is located in Burgenland, near Lake Neusiedl, in the region the hottest from Austria. Weingut's idea is to make authentic wines that speak of tension and vitality, because wine lives, develops and changes, opens and closes and creates harmony and balance. Since 2006 he has decided to cultivate the vineyards in a biodynamic way, making them more resistant, vital and heterogeneous. The range of soils where their vineyards grow ranges from meter-thick fossil limestone strata on the Alter Berg in Winden to arid slate soils on Edelgraben in Breitenbrunn to sandy and clayey soils with a gravel layer on Gabarinza and Salzberg in Gols . Mainly we find vines such as Blaufränkisch, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, but also ancient vines that have become rare or almost disappeared, such as Muskat Ottonel, Neuburger, Welschriesling or Roter Traminer. In the cellar the wines ferment spontaneously and are left in contact with the skins, sometimes for weeks, some for a few months, others for years, but all with the intent of giving them the perfect balance to take with them on their journey. They age on their own yeasts in used wooden barrels so that their aromatic spectra develop over time. A cellar with a very diversified range, which is dotted with whites, reds and macerates, where the fil rouge of origin is never lost.
