{"product_id":"flora-riesling-michael-gindl-natural-wine","title":"Flora Riesling 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlora is a blend of Riesling, Scheurebe (Sämling 88), and Gelber Muskateller grown biodynamically in Hohenruppersdorf, a village in the eastern Weinviertel of Lower Austria, about 30 kilometers northeast of Vienna at 240 meters elevation. The vineyard soils are gravel with a loess overlay, which gives the wine its characteristic mineral tension and bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Flora comes from the state of the vineyard at harvest time: the ground cover is still in bloom when the grapes are picked, and the wine's aromatic profile reflects that. Gelber Muskateller and Scheurebe receive 3 hours of skin contact before a slow, 8-hour press; Riesling gets 18 hours of skin contact before pressing. Everything is then blended and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel without temperature control, then aged on the lees for 6 months in tank. A small dose of sulfur is added only just before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeingut MG vom SOL holds Demeter biodynamic certification. The vineyards are worked with horses and Breton dwarf sheep, which are small enough to graze between the vine rows. Barrel wood for the estate's other wines comes from Gindl's own forest. The 10-hectare farm has practiced mixed agriculture since 1807 and has been in Gindl's family since that date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage Flora comes in at 11.5% ABV, dry, unfined, and suitable for vegans. It is a light, aromatic, and mineral-driven white with a persistent floral lift from the Muskateller and a citrus-edged backbone from the Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut MG vom SOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37732045258951,"sku":"GINDFLOR19C","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/gindle-flora-riesling-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630819146","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/flora-riesling-michael-gindl-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
