Winemakers Martin and Adriana Lichtenberger-González practice minimal intervention, fermenting the hand-harvested grapes spontaneously with native yeasts after a brief period of skin contact. The wine ages on its fine lees in large, neutral oak casks to allow the site's distinct calcareous minerality to express itself without wood character or oak tannins. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal sulfur additions, this is a tactile, dry, and soil-driven Austrian white defined by tension and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eA hazy, pale yellow-gold color in the glass leads into high-toned aromas of yellow apple, preserved lemon, white blossom, wet chalk, and wild herbs. The palate is dry, crisp, and linear, offering focused flavors of crunchy pear, raw almond, salt-cured citrus, and lemongrass framed by a light phenolic grip. A driving beam of natural acidity cuts through the wine's textured leesy mid-palate, giving the mouthfeel an energetic, lip-smacking quality. It concludes on a long, refreshing finish marked by persistent notes of crushed stone, citrus pith, and a subtle salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lichtenberger-Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50602066215152,"sku":"A1","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Lichtenberger-Gonzalez-Gruner-Veltliner-and-Co-white-2021-back.jpg?v=1791842300","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/lichtenberger-gonzalez-muschelkalk-weiss-2021","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
