2022 2Naturkinder, Black Betty, Franken, Germany
$27.99
Michael on this wine: “Black Betty is back! After we ripped out the original Domina vineyard, we found a worthy replacement for this cuvée at the Eherieder Berg, in a plot connected to other vineyards we farm already. The wine is named after the first lamb that was born in our Domina vineyard: Betty. Who was – as most of the Ouessant sheep – black."
Regent bunches pressed directly and poured over the Domina bunches, which are picked shortly after for a touch of color and tannin extraction before pressing 3 days later. Aged in big oak barrels before they get racked the following summer and blended directly with carbonic Spätburgunder that was aged in stainless steel. Bottled the following October. Unfined, unfiltered, zero sulfur added.
