Strohmeier Schilcher Frizzante Pet Nat 2021

Styria // Austria
Blauer Wildbacher

Made with Blauer Wildbacher grapes which has been used since time immemorial in Styria only to make dark rosés or light red wine which they call Schilchers. This is your perfect summer juice with spring tones: rhubarb and raspberry acidity combines pleasantly with white pepper to make a goofy, thirst-quenching and somewhat savory aperitif. Unexpected flavors but incredibly delicious!

'Trauben, Liebe und Zeit' - grapes, love and time - is the essence of winemaking for Franz Strohmeier. Franz and his wife Christine own a domain in the southern 'green heart' of Austria, in Styria. Franz farms 8-hectares of vines that are growing on some of the greenest mountains and farmed following the most natural methods. Even though Franz is not biodynamically certified, he does make extensive use of biodynamic principles, and in some cases goes even further. Biodiversity is what is most important to Franz, and in his orchards everything is mixed together; grasses, trees, herbs and flowers not only provide biodiversity in terms of vegetation, but also attract a great diversity of fauna.
