Koppitsch - Abendrot 2022
Koppitsch - Abendrot 2022
Blend of red and white grapes; as you would expect this wine has everything that you need for a sunny afternoon. A dance-off between raspberry and lime; rhubarb and grapefruit - vibrant, exciting & fun.
The grapes for the Abendrot are grown on the Neuberg - a very rocky limestone hill. Delivering wines that are very purist and precise, clearly structured and with depth of characte.

Vinification
The grapes got partially de-stemmed (approx. 10% stems in the mash) and fermented naturally in stainless steel and fibreglass vats. After 10 days the mash was pressed and the wine was transfered into barrels (225l Barriques) in the cellar. The white grapes were direct pressed. The wines matured on gross lees for 11 months without any additives, without fining and filtration. Bottled unfiltered, unfined without the addition of sulfur.
