Renner & Rennersistas, Chardonnay 2019

Certified Biodynamic. 100% Chardonnay. This parcel of vines was planted in 1992 on gravel, sand, and clay soils. 50% whole cluster fermented on skins for seven days; 50% whole cluster direct-pressed into used 228L barrels for ferment. It spent ten months on the lees afterward. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2 added. This wine is reminiscent of a village-level Burgundy that’s chillier, lighter, and hasn’t been forced into oaky oblivion. Soft, fine, and persistent: a lovely iteration of the cooler-climate side of Burgenland.

BIODYNAMIC. ORANGE WINE.
