Peter Wetzer – Weiss 2020 750ml

Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Standard Domestic Shipping


$29.15

This wine represents Wetzer’s interpretation of the tradition of the white wines of the region, his attempt to bring the “weiss” back to life with carefully selected plots. The winemaking is relatively simple, with a short 24 hour maceration on the skins and a third fermented in barrel and the rest in stainless steel. Refreshing and layered. Dry and approachable but thrilling nonetheless. Lemon and green apple upfront with beeswax and honey undertones as it warms.

100% Grüner Veltliner./ ABV 12%

Description

Peter Wetzer grew up in a winemaking family, and while he studied the world of wine he came to realize he vastly preferred the wines that were made more naturally. In 2007 he purchased five different vineyards around the town of Sopron, in the northwest part of Hungary. Sopron was formerly the capital of Burgenland, so it is not surprising that the Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) variety is so commonly found here. Peter works Kékfrankos on five different vineyard sites comprising 2.5 hectares and additionally has 1 hectare of furmint vines he planted himself near the Ság volcano, and another hectare of vines from a few different varieties like Pinot Noir. He works to have very healthy soil, with natural biodiversity, and minimum spraying with copper sulfate and a nettle tincture he makes. He believes in minimal intervention in the vines, never tilling the soil or trimming the leaves. All grapes are hand harvested, and the vineyards are all fermented separately.
