NV Christoph Hoch Weiss R (Hollenburger Riesling), Niederosterreich, Austria
$23.00
Like all of Hoch's wines, the goal is to "bottle nature"; fermentations are spontaneous, no sugar or enzymes are added, only a low amount of sulfur at bottling. All fermentation and aging happens in neutral French oak barrels. This is a blend of three vintages. The Riesling is grown on the Hollenburger conglomerate soil, which is a limestone rich Alpine formation. This riesling is pure and intense, with racy acidity, tangy citrus fruits, and mineral.

Hoch's multi-layered orange wine
When you factor in the farming, the multiple cellars he needs to support his layered, multi-vintage approach (for both still and sparkling), it becomes clear that Hoch is as individual as a winemaker can be.
