BEURER RIESLING JUNGES SCHWABEN

“At nearly 400m above sea level, this vineyard is perched high above the town of Stetten in an alcove of trees. The walled vineyard boasts 40+-year old vines which Jochen only replaces with selection massale from the same site – selecting for tiny berries in loose clusters. Quince trees are interplanted to increase biodiversity. He harvest the grapes in several passes with as long as a month between the first and last selection. This results in maximum concentration without sacrificing freshness. The grapes undergo an extended cold maceration, up to three weeks depending on the vintage. The grapes are then pressed off into large neutral barrels for fermentation which often takes more than 18 months. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Junges Schwaben (Young Swabians) is an organization started by Jochen to celebrate up-and-coming wine talents from their region and highlight the cultural and linguistic uniqueness of these people.” – Juice Imports
