Screwcap. The delicious, delicately mineral Weisser Schiefer is 100% Welschriesling drawn from one hectare of vines on the Dolomite-chalk, slate and quartz hillsides of the Südburgenland. Spanning the villages of Eisenberg and Kohfidisch, the old vines here–up to 60 years old with an average of 40 years–bask on southeast and southwest facing slopes. All the fruit is hand harvested and spontaneously fermented in large, 1200-litre wooden barrels without temperature control.

At least one parcel is fermented as whole bunches before being pressed off. Aged in large Austrian and Slovenian tronconique casks for 8 months, on lees, it is bottled, like all Schiefer’s wines, unfined and unfiltered. In spite of its dainty 11%, this has surprising texture and chew to complement the lime splice freshness, earthy-savoury complexity and mouthwatering freshness. Wonderful class and refreshment on offer here.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
