'Ret'

Rotburger & St. Laurent, Burgenland, Austria

Rét is one of those wines that we come back to time and time again, like a favourite book or movie that is ALWAYS as good as you remember. It is so utterly crushable that you will be tempted to dump the whole bottle into a fountain soda cup & honestly why shouldn’t you? NO STEM inclusion during maceration this year = MORE FRUIT! Black pepper smudge, UBER concentrated elderberry syrup, wild blueberry extract, bitter acorn squash skin, October's crackling dried leaves, meaty outdoor fire-pit & a clear, romantic evening sky. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented on the skins for about 10 days without temperature control, then pressed & aged in acacia barrels on gross lees for 7 months. Pairs perfectly with: classic Burberry plaid, an impromptu game of softball that becomes weirdly high-stakes, cool breezes & hand-holding, going for a run with a dog.
