Gernot and Heike Heinrich have never been afraid to innovate. After taking over Gernot’s family winery in 1985 Heinrich was one of the first producers in the region to branch out from making simple whites to produce high-quality reds, seeing the potential in local varietals like Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and St Laurent. They are passionate about biodynamics because they feel it’s right for the planet but also that they can producer better wine with a more precise expression of vineyard and soils.
Made with fruit from both sides of Lake Neusiedl, Naked Orange is a zesty, citrus-packed orange wine that shows off a host of aromatic varieties. Made through super lo-fi winemaking, it has subtle structure, a delicate, appetising bitterness and a surge of juicy blood orange and citrus fruit.
