The Maskerade Weiss is a light, vibrant cuvée with a refreshing spritz at the beginning that disappears after being open. It beams with fresh sage and stone fruits, like apricots or white peach. Fruit comes from a 30-year-old vineyard on gravel and limestone soil. There are several varietals planted, including Gruner, Weissburgunder and Welschriesling. Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed before being wild fermented in old 1000L and 1500L barrels. The wine goes through elevage in the same barrels for about 8 months, with no batonnage, then bottled without fining or filtration, and zero added sulphur. This is the kind of wine you need at your dinner table, always.
