Haus Gupi La Boheme Gutedel 2020

Claus Schneider
$34.00

Grape: Gutedel
Vintage: 2020
Type: White

Produced from hand-harvested gutedel grapes, this white wine highlights a youthfully focused expression of the variety without oak wood intervention. The estate manages the vineyard plots organically on limestone topsoils, utilizing a hands-off approach in the cellar to maintain fruit purity. Spontaneous fermentation relies entirely on native vineyard wild yeasts inside neutral stainless steel tanks, avoiding modern chemical corrections. It undergoes a short maturation process on its fine lees before bottling completely unfiltered.

It displays a pale gold hue, releasing clean aromas of white peach, green apple, and wet stone. On the palate, the light-bodied frame is juicy and direct, focusing on a highly refreshing fruit presentation. A zesty, natural acidity runs through the center of the wine, carrying flavors of Meyer lemon and pear. The subtle mineral backbone coordinates nicely with a clean mouthfeel across the mid-palate volume. It finishes short and clean, leaving a light, refreshing berry trace.

Winery

The Schneider family’s Weingut am Schlipf is based in Weil am Rhein, at the southern end of Baden where Germany meets France and Switzerland. Claus Schneider and his wife Susanne developed the estate’s reputation before sons Johannes and Christoph took on the vineyard, cellar and commercial work. The family’s sites include Schlipf, Stiege, Sonnhohle and Sonnenbrunnen, with clay and limestone contributing different expressions. Gutedel and the Pinot varieties are central to the estate’s identity.

Haus Gupi is the family’s more experimental range, its name joining GUtedel and PInot. Certified organic farming, biodynamic practices, hand harvesting and careful yields provide the foundation. Johannes’s experience in Burgundy, Alsace and southern France adds another perspective to the regional traditions. The Haus Gupi wines are intended to remain fresh, aromatic and easy to drink, with a lighter, less manipulated approach to the fruit. Bottlings such as El Fayoum and La Bohème give Gutedel a distinctive role within the estate’s broader work with the vineyards of southern Baden.
