Andreas Tscheppe Segelfalter
Country: Austria
Region: Styria
Grapes: Gelber Muskateller (Muscat)
Vintage: 2020
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.
Segelfalter is Andreas's Gelber Muskateller (Muscat) planted on south and southeast facing terraces at around 500m above sea level. An intriguing, floral nose of chamomile, jasmine and citrus blossom leads onto a savoury and textured palate combining tropical and stone fruit flavours with a fine minerality.
