2024 Tscheppe, Green Dragonfly Plus (Sauvignon Blanc), Styria, Austria
$105.00
Andreas bottled the wine with the remaining residual sugar under crown caps, to let them finish the fermentation in the bottle and develop a bit of fizz. To distinguish this “cellar calamity edition” from the “regular” Green Dragonfly (Grune Libelle) cuvée made in other vintages, the word “plus” is stated on the back label.
Age of Vines: planted in 2006
Soil: limestone/opok. Estate-owned, farmed organically by Andreas himself
Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The grapes are pressed to old big barrels where they fermented spontaneously. As the fermentation stopped due to weather damage and severe temperature drop in the cellar, the wine was finally bottled in March 2023 with the remaining RS under crown cap, to finish the fermentation there. Unfined and unfiltered, 5ppm sulfur added at bottling.
