NV Warnung Basis Gruner Veltliner

Producer Description:
Matthias Warnung farms 10 hectares of vines in the Kamptal region of Austria. He took over the operation of the winery from his father in 2010, after spending time working with various other winemakers, most notably the famed South African natural winemaker behind Testalonga, Craig Hawkins. He ferments all the wines spontaneously and uses little to no sulfur. 
An easy-drinking take on a typical Austrian white grape, Gruner Veltliner, blended from different vintages. Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed as whole bunches to 50-year-old 5500-liter wooden vat for fermentation. The wine spends 1-2 years in barrel for elevage and is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with a small amount of sulfur added.
