Organic Anarchy - Iz Sort Chardonnay, Kerner, Rizling - 2020
The 2020 bottling achieves an effortless equilibrium between weight and acidity. Chardonnay gives a supple, satin-like mid-palate; Kerner fills the glass with rustic floral and wild herb aromatics; and Renski Rizling anchors the entire blend with a vibrant, persistent backbone of cool-mountain acidity.
The Visual: A glowing, hazy orange-gold with bronze highlights. Unfined, unfiltered, and carrying the soft, living cloudiness of authentic ancestral amber wine.
The Nose: Crystalline, expressive, and deeply aromatic. Earthy notes of orange tea leaves, dried marigolds, and white pepper merge with bruised golden apple, Meyer lemon rind, crushed slate, and a gentle wave of raw honeyed propolis.
The Palate: Textural harmony. A fine, velvety tannic web gently grips the palate before releasing waves of salt-cured citrus, dried nectarine, and savory mountain botanicals. The finish is long, bone-dry, and unmistakably mineral, leaving a mouthwatering, saline trail.
Why It’s Legendary
The 2020 Iz Sort Chardonnay, Kerner, Rizling is a snapshot of pure balance. It blends the aromatic brightness of younger vintages with a noble, calm structural core. It isn't loud or aggressive—it is a focused, deeply soul-stirring amber wine that showcases how 12% alcohol can hold immense complexity when the fruit is grown with absolute biodynamic respect.
Best enjoyed: Cellar temperature (around 12°C / 54°F). Give it 15 minutes in the glass to wake up and watch its wild, alpine personality unfold.
