Eschenhof Holzer Invader Orange Wine, Austria
This orange wine is something a little different with juicy aromas of blood orange and spice.
Holzer Invader Orange is a dry orange wine from Wagram, Austria. It's 100% Muller-Thurgau with 12.5% abv. Suitable for Vegans. Organic.
Arnold Holzer is a young, innovative winemaker who is having a lot of fun with his wines. This Space Invaders inspired wine is an aromatic, textured style with a full and juicy body. As the Müller-Thurgau grapes are left to macerate on their skins for a few weeks, the wine is cloudy with a real depth of blood orange, candy peel, hints of passion fruit and a gentle tannin. It's an extraordinary wine with a real point of difference, without being too serious about it all.
VITICULTURE + VINIFICATION
The loess in this region creates the natural conditions for the rich wine. The soil drifted here in multiple layers during the last ice age, about 100.000 to 10.000 years ago and covered the sub soil with marine deposits. Due to the valuable mineral composition, the loess soil creates a balanced depository of nutrients. Thanks to it’s small granules and high capillary, the loess soil is able to preserve a lot of water for drying times. The wines that thrive in the loess region are distinguished by a particularly characterful, long lasting and delicate fruit. Partly harvested by machine and partly by hand, fermented in stainless steel for 14-16 days, pressed, 9 month maturing in stainless steel without any sultes added, just by bottling 20 mg sultes added one time.
