Tschida Himmel Auf Erden II Maischevergoren 2024 750ml

Maischevergoren translates to “skin contact.” The Muscat varietals Christian uses boast unique and concentrated favor in their skins; he presses them ever so gently, “with the power of a handshake.”

Grapes: Scheurebe and several clones of Muscat

Making of: Grapes are hand harvested and gently crushed by foot. Some of the skins are left in contact with the juice for 2 weeks, and some is left in contact for 4 weeks, making Christian’s only orange wine. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends 1 year aging in 500 to 1500-liter barrels and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.
