MARADA - Riesling 2020

This bubbly can be volatile. But NOT off flavor, “volatile acidity”. Just that the living beings in the wine have kept going with eating all the sugars & have carbonated it as fully as their little biological processes could. The simplest way to make that sparkling wine: grow the grapes on some tough soil so that the stresses make the vines produce extra flavor with less overall yield. Harvest when there is a good amount of sugar that can feed the indigenous yeasts in the bottle & expect something unprocessed, untouched, rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruity.
Unfiltered, apples & pears on the nose & a hit of that soil on the finish (manganese, potassium, calcium).
Make sure to chill this wine properly and have a glass ready when opening – it’s a wild child. Alc. 11.5%
