Winemaker Notes

The Thörnicher is the “village-level” bottling; it is always sourced from choice parcels in the Thörnicher Ritsch and Enggass.

The nose flaunts the perfumed notes of fermentation – again it is wildly floral, yet it also has for me the profound cut of slate in the nose, that rock-ness, a blunt, salty quality that is broad and undeniable. Despite the fact is has nearly 20 grams of residual sugar (Feinherb?), the wine feels much drier than that – the finish is grippy and textural.
