Gelber Muskateller 'Südsteiermark' 2023 - Weingut Trummer am Obegg
VINIFICATION
The category “Südsteiermark vom Kalk” stands for freshness and fruitiness on the one hand and, on the other hand, for an uncomplicated minerality – hence the name “vom Kalk”. All of our vineyards in the southernmost part of Southern Styria grow on extremely barren limestone soils, which has a major influence on the vines. The very rocky soil fundamentally hinders growth, which is why the roots of the vines have to fight even more intensively through the stony terrain. This means that the vines have very deep roots and absorb water and minerals.
However, the youngest vines, which are between 10 and 15 years old, are used for the “Südsteiermark vom Kalk” category. These young vines usually produce very fruity wines because they are still quite impetuous in their growth and their roots are not yet developed deep enough. Fermented spontaneously and without any additives, stored on the lees for six months.
