Natur Ryšák "On leaves" 2022
Korab
Moderate perfumey aromatics beautifully balanced by freshness, minerality and soft pleasant tannins. Drinkable orange wine that is easy to fall in love with.
WHY “ON LEAVES”?Petr (the producer) spotted mentioning of adding dried leaves of the vines in the fermentation tank in an old book about winemaking in South Moravia. He tried it once and noticed that it adds some nice extra acidity, herbal character and particular tannins while protecting the wine from getting spoiled.
Mostly Gewürztraminer, a bit of Hibernal and Blaufränkisch. 3 months on skins with adding of dried vine leaves to the maceration tank, outside of the winery. Afterwards 7 months more of skin maceration in glazed amforae. After gentle pressing the wine aged in oak barrels.
