Controlled Chaos 2023
A playful transition between the worlds of rosé, light red, and orange wines, balancing red fruitiness with mineral freshness and a delicate texture.
Whole-cluster Blaufrankisch is co-fermented with direct-pressed Welschriesling, then blended with 2022 and 2023 Pinot Noir batches, processed partly whole-cluster, partly destemmed. Aging in used oak barrels and large fiberglass tanks lends a dynamic and beautifully integrated character, while preserving the wine's vibrant energy and volcanic-mineral tension. Cherry, cranberry, citrus peel, and herbal notes unfold with lively acidity and a slightly salty finish.
Bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with no added sulfur.
