Heinrich 2024 Naked White Organic 750ml

Long live the everyday wine! An entertaining tipple, broken down to the bare essentials, arriving at a state of affairs where it’s just plain seriously uncomplicated. While Naked White initially approaches on tiptoe in the realm of the olfactory, it puts its whole foot firmly forward arriving on the palate. With  the hearty allure of a freshly baked cheesecake, this wine is solely concerned with uplifting one’s sense of well-being. Its primary protagonists, Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc, lend it a creamy texture, while the supporting characters happily eliminate any resistance to drinking and throws some lemon zest into the glass. Unadulterated, straightforward & precise.

The “naked white” is sourced from both sides of the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl). On the west side, vines are rooted in the limestone and schist of the Leithaberg (Leitha Mountains) slopes – on the east side of the lake vines in the gravelly Parndorfer Platte (Parndorfer Plain) and humus-rich Heideboden.

Bottled in the eternal cycle of nature according to biodynamic principles and with a great deal of manual labour & conscientious care.  Hand-harvested at the beginning of September, partially pressed directly, with a portion left on the skins for a few hours. Spontaneous  fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Matured on its own yeasts in large wooden casks; bottled unfiltered without the addition of  sulphur.
