Safari In Natura: A new introductory wine from the Schödl siblings. Blend of welsh Riesling, Gruner, Weissburgunder with Muscat which spent 10 days on its skins to give it a lovely mild orange colour.
After a few month on the full lees in large oak casks, the wine was blended and bottled without fining or filtration.
It is super immediate, with texture and layered flavours whilst staying remarkably fresh. An absolute winner of an orange wine.
SCHÖDL FAMILY, Weinwertel - New!
Organic, Natural
Schödl farm comprises of 18-ha planted on diverse type of soils, based in Weinviertel.
It is run by brothers and sister, Viktoria, Mathias, and Leonhard.
Their father was a teacher at Klosterneuberg (the oldest winemaking school in the world) and used the family’s old-school dugout cellar as a community hub, helping his neighbours make blending decisions and tame wild fermentations.
After finishing wine school and completing extensive experiences abroad (South Africa, California, New York, New Zealand), the young siblings converted their family winery into organic production. Mathias focuses on the biodiversity in the vineyards; wild herbs, grasses and chamomile grow between the vines to provide living space for beneficial insects such as butterflies, ladybirds, and earthworms.
