Organic farming, no sulphur
Grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and crushed by foot. Some of the skins are left in contact with the juice for 2 weeks, and some is left in contact for 4 weeks, making Christian’s only orange wine. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends 1 year aging in 500 to 1500-liter barrels and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur. - Notes from the importer
The Himmel auf Erden II Orange from Tschida is a fantastic orange wine. It’s complex, slightly earthy and it sticks to the palate for a long time. It’s aromatic with a bit of tannins to balance the whole thing out. Notes of peach, apricots, sage and hibiscus flower. - Notes from Natural Wine Dealers
