Domaine Weinbach MV0

Booth No: Q919

Characteristic

Orange wine. MV0 stands for Macération Vogelgarten Ø Intrant (meaning 'zero inputs'). 70% Gewurztraminer and 30% Pinot Gris from parcels in the Vogelgarten vineyard, which they bought in 2019 and are converting to biodynamics. Old vines. Co-picked and co-fermented. Spontaneous fermentation. Three weeks' skin contact and then aged for 10 months in old foudres. No additions, no added sulphites. 100% natural malo. The colour of pale Fanta orange and texture that feels like licking terracotta tiles. Strikingly smoky – it reminded me of smoked ham! Musk melon fruit tinged with candied angelica and something rich, almost cheesy, like meltingly nutty washed-rind cheese. Rich and bold, but fresh and the finish shaped by an appetising bitterness.<br/>Jancis Robinson-17 points
