Andreas Tscheppe Blue Dragonfly Plus
Country: Austria
Region: Styria
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage: 2022
Andreas Tscheppe is making beautiful examples of natural wine in Styria. These vineyard sites are gorgeously terraced and are bursting with life: butterflies, dragonflies and beetles are just a few of the creatures you will find while walking through these vines, and they are all represented on the labels of his wines. Andreas works only with white grapes, some of which are fermented with the skins to produce orange wines. All the winemaking involves a minimum of 18 months time in barrel for the wines to integrate with oxygen well and come into their own before being bottled.
Similar to the Green Dragonfly Plus, this is the pétillant version of Andreas' stellar Blue Dragonfly Sauvignon Blanc. Wonderfully textured with a reductive quality and tremendous concentration. Citrus, spice, steely minerals and toast.
