This is a bone-dry wine made from Kabinett-level fruit picked early in 2021 in the steep part of the Wintricher Geierslay (a vineyard previously known as Neuberg hence the name) which underwent whole-bunch fermentation before being matured on its gross lees in stainless-steel tank and bottled in November 2022 (the wine is an exclusive for Source Material Wine in the US). It offers a rather backward nose made of pear, citrusy elements, smoke, a hint of whipped cream, and quite some 'natural funk.' The wine proves beautifully crisp and yet also smooth on the clean palate and leaves a superb feel of herbs, grapefruit, and green apple in the long finish. The whole balance is that of a razor-sharp dry Kabinett with some added funk. The aftertaste is still quite tart and sharp but will round off at the edges with a year or two of bottle aging. This is made for lovers of uncompromisingly racy Kabinett! - Source Material
