{"product_id":"2023-weingut-odinstal-weissburgunder-gg-monopol-wachenheim-germany","title":"2023 Weingut Odinstal, Weissburgunder, GG Monopol, Wachenheim, Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigh above the town of Wachenheim, at 350 meters — the highest vineyard site in the Mittelhaardt — sits the Odinstal estate. Surrounded by mixed forest, wild meadow, and an ancient basalt quarry, this 5-hectare monopole has been farmed biodynamically since 2006 and is Demeter-certified. Andreas Schumann, who trained at Müller-Catoir and Bürklin-Wolf before arriving here in 2004, manages the vines with an almost monastic devotion: no neighbors, meaning no risk of chemical drift from neighboring vineyards, and all biodynamic preparations made on-site from nettles and yarrow grown on the property. Deer and wild boar wander through. The vines ripen a full two weeks later than those in the valley below, and yields hover around 30–40 hl\/ha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Weissburgunder GG Monopol comes from two parcels within the site: one planted on basalt in 2004, the other on Keuper clay dating to 1988. Roughly 90% is fermented with native yeasts in used Palatinate oak tonneaux, with around 10% seeing skin contact. The wine rests on the lees before bottling sans filtration and with minimal sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flinty, smoky mineral core from the basalt soils anchors the wine, layered with crisp apple, yellow citrus, and a chalky, oyster-shell salinity on the palate. Verbena and lemon balm thread through the finish. It’s structured and grippy in a way that’s rare for pinot blanc, here crafted less for immediate pleasure than for serious aging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341170278696,"sku":"AT23ODINSTALWEISSBURGUNDER750","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/WeingutOdinstal_Weissburgunder_GGMonopol_Wachenheim.jpg?v=1768604703","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/2023-weingut-odinstal-weissburgunder-gg-monopol-wachenheim-germany","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
