2Naturkinder Spatburgunder 2016
From the winery:
he 2016 vintage came with a ridiculous yield due to a massive frost damage earlier that year. A 600l barrel plus a little tank for half a hectare. The grapes were destemmed with 20% of the (dried) stems added back in the must. With only 12 days it was a relatively quick fermentation. The wine remained in the barrel (and the little tank) for 18 months being racked once in July 2017.
