Weingut Gernot Heinrich Organic Graue Freyheit 2022, 0,75 L

This "natural wine" is a flagship product from biodynamic star winemaker Gernot Heinrich.

This natural wine consists of the Burgundy varieties Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay which are fermented on the skins for 14 days (like red wine). Then gently pressed in a basket press and matured for 19 months in clay amphorae and used oak barrels on the fine lees. Bottled without filtration and therefore naturally cloudy.

The result is a blend of white wine, rosé wine and a Burgundy. We are happy to quote the winery, as we couldn't describe it any better:

A wine that is free from notions of colour and cannot be pigeonholed. Full of colour and aromas, and far from grey (grau), Graue Freyheit rises like a radiant dawn from the mist and promises a bright day ahead. The light extract of red berries and the delicate spiciness of black tea create a tension between autumnal depth and spring-like, carefree lust for life. The body is compact, steely and full of precision. A vibrant acidity, a full-bodied texture and persistent minerality leaves a stony finish with a cooling effect. A fascinating symbiosis of being powerful and sublime at the same time whilst floating serenely like a zeppelin. It embodies the paradox where the attributes "sparse" and "fruit-loving" form a whole. Colour-blind with pride. Shake before serving.
