Kolfok Intra the Wild White 2022

Country: Austria

Region: Burgenland

Type: Orange Wine

Grape: Grüner Veltliner/Welschriesling

Kolfok winemaker Stefan Wellanschitz likes the phenolic notes of skin-fermented wines but wanted a way to preserve the wine's elegance. He achieved that with a process of intracellular fermentation--the whole-cluster grapes rest in a larger fermentation vessel where native yeasts slowly start the fermentation process inside of the berries, leading to a gentler extraction of the skins. After nine weeks the grapes were pressed and finished primary and secondary fermentation in larger used Stockinger oak barrels.

A dry, light and aromatic skin contact white wine with notes of fresh apricot and melon.
