Christina "Orange" Carnuntum, Austria 2022

FROM JENNY & FRANCOIS:

THE WINE: Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Sauvignon blanc. The white grapes love the perfect conditions of our “Pannonian” climate with the deep and nutritious soils in combination with gravel on the top. As a result, they develop their very intensive and exotic aromatic with some nice acidity on the palate, due to the cooler influences of the River Danube during the nights. Big in the best of senses! There are herbs and heaps of exotic fruit, juicy citrus flavors and exciting tannic structure. Super cool on its own or even more enjoyable next to some aromatic cuisine like Thai curries, grilled fish, lemon roasted chicken, oh my…

THE PRODUCER: The Netzl family has lived and farmed in the very same village since 1650. Having helped her family with running the mixed farm and vineyards since an early age, Christina knew she wanted to be a winemaker already at the tender age of five. Inspired by the quality of the natural wines she discovered while living in London and the birth of her two daughters, Christina decided to turn the whole property organic in 2013 and started her own range of natural wines two years later. The labels of the wines are a tribute to the beneficiary insects that inhabit the vineyards where they help manage pests and build soil health and biodiversity.
