Styria, Austria
Grapes: Chardonnay
Floral, quince-like aromas with a touch of apple and earthy minerality. The mouth is full of fruit notes, from pears to apricots and citrus; slightly fizzy and perfectly balanced between laser-sharp acidity and a bit of RS (hence also the trocken – dry – category stated on the back label). The winemaker swears that pairing it with grilled asparagus, boiled new potatoes and hollandaise is a match made in heaven, as both the wine and the dish mingle lemony freshness with buttery creaminess.

WINE DETAILS

Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The grapes are pressed to old big barrels where they fermented spontaneously. As the fermentation stopped due to weather damage and severe temperature drop in the cellar, the wine was finally bottled in March 2023 with the remaining RS under crown cap, to finish the fermentation there. Unfined and unfiltered, 5ppm sulfur added at bottling.

Andreas Tscheppe

Andreas Tscheppe is making beautiful examples of natural wine in Styria, in very much the same spirit as Franz Strohmeier and Sepp Muster. These vineyard sites are gorgeously terraced and are bursting with life: butterflies, dragonflies and beetles are just a few of the creatures you will find while walking through these vines, and they are all represented on the labels of his wines. Andreas works only with white grapes, some of which are fermented with the skins to produce orange wines. All the winemaking involves a minimum of 18 months time in barrel for the wines to integrate with oxygen well and come into their own before being bottled.
