An attempt that was successful, that's probably the best way to describe it.

In 2019, Herbert Baier decided to start an experiment - to try something new and innovative. We're talking about a wine - matured in a granite barrel.

But what actually makes granite so special?

Storage in granite barrels is definitely a completely new way of developing wine. The rough surface of the granite's inner wall multiplies the contact with the wine, the stone absorbs the pores in the granite - the wine thus receives the ideal supply of oxygen to mature. Sensorially, the wine is perceived as more velvety and fruity, and acid peaks are smoothed out. Wine from the granite barrel resembles wine that has already aged for a few years, but without losing its primary fruitiness.

"The wine in the granite has a very unique character. Complex, intense in flavor. Minerality and spice , which is supported by the natural stone - simply exciting to taste."

And it's not just the wine that's special, but also the natural cork - untreated and sealed with beeswax. A guarantee that you'll enjoy storing this wine for a long time.
