Oeko-Weingut Zang, "Orts-Wein", RegePinot Blanc, Franconia QbA, organic wine, white, 2022
 

Rainer Zang, the winemaker, tries to interpret his local wines as clear anar ad transparent representatives of grape varieties without much chichi. He focuses on the mineral origins of the vineyards around the wine-growing towns of Sommerach and Nordheim. The existing shell limestone soil from the Main loop runs through the wines like a cool stream bed. Like the Oeko-Weingut Zang Orts-Wein Pinot Blanc, they are all consistent representatives of its organic philosophy and style: close to nature, unvarnished, honest and dry.

Organic wine profile

• Color: Pale yellow
• Nose: it is already densely packed on the nose: dark and black berries, dried plums, tobacco, licorice and a fine hint of leather and juniper mix with earthy, spicy aromas to form a concentrated and complex overall picture.
• Mouth: Yes, the Regent variety can also offer great cinema. It is a sophisticated wine with a warm Mediterranean character. The tannins are silky and finely integrated due to the long maturing time on the fine yeast in our cellar. The full-bodied, spicy finish is evidence of the high extract density and lingers on the tongue for a long time:
• Drinking recommendation : Serve at 16-18°C.

Organic wine production, Oeko-Wein-Gut Zang "Orts-Wein", Regent Reserve, Franken QbA, red

All grapes are harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts. With the exception of some SO2, no preservatives or fining agents are used.

The straightforward local wine from the Nordheimer vineyards stands for lively freshness and densely embodies the long-standing ecological cultivation of the vines.

The Regent from 2012 shows with full-bodied concentration and maturity that we don't have to hide with our red wines here in Germany either! In style and intention it follows in the footsteps of classic reserve wines.
