Heinrich Graue Freyheit 2020 Bottle size: 750ml

'A white wine – a rosé – a Pinot…? And the direct answer is yes. A wine that frees itself from the constraints of colour and defies categorisation. Prismatic & aromatic – far from grey – Graue Freyheit arises like a new dawn out of the morning fog and promises a brilliant day. Light extract of red berries and the delicate spiciness of black tea create an inviting dynamic tension between autumnal depth and carefree, vernal joie de vivre. On the palate the wine is concentrated, tightly wound and deliciously precise. Contoured by vigorous acidity, substantial texture and persistent minerality, Graue Freyheit leaves in its wake a stony resonance with a cooling afterglow. This exceptional wine manages the nifty trick of seeming powerful & majestic, while the same time floating effortlessly in a way that only a dirigible can do. It is indeed a fascinating thing, when the ostensible opposites ‘meagre’ and ‘luscious’ mate in an indissoluble marriage. Colour-blind with pleasure. And please, shake the bottle!' – Winemaker
