Zeichmann - Schmutziger 2014/2015

(Burgenland, Austria)

A Pinot Blanc like no other from Joiseph's Luka Zeichmann.

This truly singular wine is the definition of 'artisanal' from start to finish. Made with grapes from an experimental vineyard (a haven of biodiversity and enchanting nature), produced in minuscule amounts (400 bottles), aged for eight years, and then labeled with a hand-painted label.

The wine itself is purposely bottled cloudy (its name translates to 'The Dirty One'), and yet it is super clean, rounded, textured, with wild aromatics and a finish that goes on and on. Astounding length.

It's truly an honour to be able to work with Luka on this release, one we've been anticipating for a long time.
