"FROM FUN TO PLEASURE"
Our time is fast moving. Most of the foods and wines are trimmed towards that fact. The Sepp Moser-wines do not fit the trend – they are classic as ever. We see the two “Minimal”-wines as a contribution to slowing down. “Minimal” stands for minimal interference into winemaking. If you work without industrial yeast, finings and filtrations, the wines need time to gain their stability and full development. The reward: Very indigenous wines with a great deal of expression and depth, which are moreover particularly wholesome.
After a few years of the experimental stage, we can offer first time two Low-wines in limited quantities:
• Grüner Veltliner Minimal Schnabel 08: A selection of the best grapes of one of the best vineyard sites. Fermentation in a 500-lt.-barrel, one year contact with the whole lees, then racking with only about 10 mg of sulphur, bottling in Mai 2010.
Intense yellow colour; Perfume of orange zest and spices; on the palate opulent with roundness and depth; Enormous minerality and length on the finish
• Zweigelt Minimal 08: A selection from our more than 40 years old Zweigelt-vines. Fermentation on the skins; malolactic fermentation in a 500-litre-barrel; no racking after that until the bottling in May 2010. No fining or filtration and no addition of sulphur.
Red-black colour; Perfume of plum-jam and forest soil; on the palate full-bodied; equipped with tight tannins; lots of structure and enormously long after-taste.
€ 25,-/bottle; max. 3 bottles of each per person
