Weiss Blend 2023 Producer|Ollieux RomanisA dangerously drinkable field blend of no less than 7 different local varietals from old vines in Flonheim. Grapes including Mller Thurgeau, Bacchus, Scheurebe, Huxel, Wrzer, Faber, Riesling, maybe more who knows?! Thirst quenching and bouncing with energy, aromatically this jumps out of the glass with all things grapefruit, waxy lemon, elderflower, ripe apple and tropical fruits. All the grapes are harvested together and co fermented a proper field
Lépiny is a natural wine that really showcases the meticulous work and talent of Lucas Madoni

Élevage now follows the same ratios

Whilst we've been enjoying some of the drier expressions of Mazel whites in recent vintages
Great value to be found in these bottles
Vergano prefers to use a younger wine from Barbaresco
the grapes at the bottom of the tank being crushed under the weight of those at the top
the wine has a degree of opulence from being both fermented and then raised for 8 months in a big
and then for 20 months 'sur lattes'
the site is co-planted with Pinot Noir and Gamay over rocky white limestone and red clay
