2Naturkinder 2022 Silvaner Zweite Heimat

From a Single-plot in Rödelsee; old vines planted in 1989 on Keuper bedrock. 100% Silvaner that is destemmed and crushed, then left to macerate on skins for ten days where fermentation begins slowly. Wine is pressed and fermentation continues in a large oak barrel, where it is aged until racking into a tank for bottling — 32 months of aging in total.

This is Michael's "classic orange wine" full of texture, and energy! Great ripeness of fruit with notes of orange zest, pear, and apricot. This drinks well now but has the ability to age for additional complexity.
