HERCULES HYDRA

VERNATSCH 2021

0,75 l

HERCULES – an extraordinary project.

 

Each wine in this series bears the same name,

yet everything else changes – grape variety, vinification, bottle, and label.

What remains is the spirit of experimentation and the connection

to the twelve labors of Hercules.

 

Strictly limited & truly unique

Each of these wines is a one-of-a-kind creation –

a maximum of 600 bottles are released for sale.

Once an edition is sold out, it will never be produced again.

 

The first wine in the series, "Nemean Lion,"

was a Sauvignon Blanc – spontaneously fermented in amphora,

with 6 months of skin contact.

 

The second, "Hydra," is a unique Schiava (Vernatsch),

as the vines were uprooted after the harvest.
