2022 Jasper Underground Gutedel Amphora, dry, 10% vol., decorative iron

Restrained orange. The `Underground` is made from the rare grape variety Red Gutedel and is fermented entirely on the skins in the style of an orange wine. It is aged undisturbed for a year in an amphora buried in the vineyard, followed by pressing and further aging in barriques. Orange-reddish in color, with a deep and rich bouquet. Vegetal, yeasty, earthy, floral, and nutty notes. On the palate, the tannins are firm yet supple, without leaving a harsh residue. A very firm, crisp, and cool finish with light citrus, herbal, and spicy notes, plenty of structure, and a fine bite. Spontaneous fermentation of the whole berries in an amphora buried in the vineyard, maturation for 12 months in the amphora, followed by pressing and further maturation for at least 12 months in barrique barrels, bottling without additional sulfuring, fining or filtration.
