Sonnenberg and Bildstoecklé

this wine was disgorged with a dosage of 6 g/L

Fermentation is spontaneous with a meaningful portion of whole clusters and gentle daily pump overs

and one erroneously tends to say not the most complex one either

NV Christoph Hoch Weiss R (Hollenburger Riesling), Niederosterreich, Austria Plageoles Sonnenberg and BildstoeckléLike all of Hoch's wines, the goal is to "bottle nature"; fermentations are spontaneous, no sugar or enzymes are added, only a low amount of sulfur at bottling. All fermentation and aging happens in neutral French oak barrels. This is a blend of three vintages. The Riesling is grown on the Hollenburger conglomerate soil, which is a limestone rich Alpine formation. This riesling is pure and intense, with racy acidity, tangy citrus fruits, and mineral.
