It is powerful and concentrated, but remains supple on the palate. Optimal drinking temperature is 16-18 °C (60-64 °F). Ideal accompaniment to duck breast roasted under a walnut crust with sauteéed schupfnudeln (small potato dumplings).\u003cbr\u003eIt is also a superb choice with spicy hard cheeses like Gryerzer with freshly baked pumpkin seed bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemeter, Organic\u003cbr\u003eSpontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tank with 18 days maceration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne year in small oak barrels and large wooden cask \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure shell limestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"HISTORY\u003cbr\u003e400 years of wine-growing history – tradition that naturally obliges. Birgit sees this obligation in a holistic way. The typical regional architecture of the farm, listed as a historical monument, was gradually restored with a great deal of love and intuition. Home to Birgit, her sons and parents, and of course, her wines. Burgenland architectural history to see, feel and experience.\u003cbr\u003eHARMONY.\u003cbr\u003eNot only her family and her business, but above all – the vineyard – where her wines are made, are naturally a matter of the heart for Birgit.\u003cbr\u003eFor almost 20 years, she has occupied herself with biodynamics and a holistic way of life. As a member of the Demeter Group (Nicholas Joly’s “la Renaissance des Appellations” and her greatest challenge), Birgit places every being – plant, animal, human – absolutely at the centre of her work. The core of her work is to promote, demand, support and accompany with precision.\u003cbr\u003eSoft pruning, consideration for the constellation of the moon and the stars, and supporting the growth and ripening forces of nature exclusively with herbal preparations are a matter of course. The fertilising compost comes mainly from her chickens, goats and sheep. Beekeeping, old trees, perches for birds of prey, and incubators complete the colourful conglomeration of diversity and vitality, as well as the unity of humans and nature.\u003cbr\u003eThe wildwux project unites all these ideas and promotes the unique cultural landscape in which we are allowed to live and work. Birgit is also fully aware of her responsibility towards the next generation, her motto: “we have only rented the land”; we are only guests on this earth, where everything is connected.\u003cbr\u003eAs mother of two sons, Birgit questioned conventional systems and structures in all areas. She was co-founder of the first Waldorf School in Burgenland and soon decided to raise and accompany her children under the life concept of homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine. Success proved her right and she now applies these experiences to flora and fauna in and around her vineyards.\u003cbr\u003eHer passion, qigong, is much more than a hobby. It helps sharpen the power of observation and perception, and train one’s inner vision. As in the teaching of this Chinese form of movement and meditation, where man lives rooted and strives upwards, the vine is also anchored in the earth and stretches towards the sky. “Live as if heaven were on earth”, a call and message that Birgit tries to live holistically.\u003cbr\u003eBiodynamics is lived holistically to sustain our unique cultural landscape and is practiced in our project Wildwux.com.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737623859451,"sku":"00073135","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/4259397c669dc5d33da34da5ebcb1a54.jpg?v=1646252324","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/birgit-braunstein-heide-blaufrankisch-burgenland-at-2019","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
