2020 von der Vogelwaide Weinland Riesling 'Tandaradai', Wachau, Austria
$74.99
100% Riesling. This wine is taken from a few select parcels, the steepest stone terraces around the Wachau village of Oberarnsdorf. Whole-cluster pressed into 100% neutral French 350L barrels. No maceration is done to prevent extraction of too much potassium. Before the juice is drained from the press, winemakers Daniel and Michael let it sit for a short time to oxidize the polyphenols. Spontaneous fermentation, unfined/unfiltered. The Riesling naturally does not go through malolactic fermentation. Aged in the same neutral French 350L (Burgundy barrels) for 10 months on full lees; bottled August 2020. The word ‘Tandaradai’ is a medieval Austro-German word: onomatopoeia for the sound of the flapping of a bird’s wings. Unlike any Wachau Riesling in existence, a new idiom for the region.
