GUT OGGAU - ATANSIUS 2020
TASTING NOTES
Only 3 bottles allocated, Atansius is a blend of Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch bio-dynamically farmed from 35 year old vines. A lightish red opening with red fruit, it's bright and clean and absolutely delicious. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and with zero additions of sulphur.
Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in used 500, and 1200-litre barrels, and the juice spends about 3 weeks in contact with the skins. The wine goes through elevage in the same barrels for about 12 months, with no batonnage. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulphur.
