FUSO + Jonas Seckinger "Glas" Riesling, Pfalz, Germany 2022

FROM PORTOVINO:

THE WINE: GLÄS is a German Riesling from the biodynamic Pfalz producer Jonas Seckinger. Jonas says he works by intuition, smelling and tasting the wine daily, like my grandfather did. His house style is bone dry, with savory (almost salty) notes coming from the red sandstone soils. A minimum addition of sulfur is added at bottling to allow the fruit to ring clear without seeming over-polished. The result is a rakish, but also succulent glass of Riesling.

THE PRODUCER: FUSO is a PortoVino project in the spirit of what people from Europe still do today: once a year they visit their favorite local producer to fill up large glass demijohns that they later siphon off into smaller bottles at home. Every year we collaborate with our favorite organic farmers to siphon off and bottle only the most delicious and characterful wines from classic and off-the-radar growing areas.

For every FUSO wine, we have someone local from our team that is following the batch with the producer, from the vineyard to the bottle and then transport to you. This kind of of attention to detail on the production side allows us to have great juice, instead of just a cheap tasting commercial tank wine, or even a just a ‘good enough’ daily drinker. We’re very proud to be able to offer this kind of quality and terroir character, and it really is what drives the project.
