Weingut Edgar Brutler Wieso? Nicht! 2022

Organic. A field blend from a tiny vineyard of .4ha, composed of Blaufränkisch, Portugieser, Welschriesling, Fetească Regală, and a handful of unknown local varieties. 40+ year-old vines, only about 30% of the vineyard is red varieties. All varieties are macerated for two days, pressed, and co-fermented, then aged in 500L oak barrels for around nine months to a year. Unfined, unfiltered, a small amount of SO2 added just before bottling. This is a light red with a touch of fine grip, great acidity, and pretty aromatics – heady and very easy to drink, but not a thin or structureless wine. Edgar calls it “a white wine with a touch of red color.”
