Manfred Felsner on Old Vines, Extended Lees Aging, and Zweigelt Rosé

We talked Manfred Felsner into letting us record his thoughts on a variety of topics, and distilled things down into a ten minute clip for you. Topics include:

• Why a vineyard with a mix of young, middle-aged, and old vines is rare in Kremstal but a kind of secret weapon
• Why Kremstal might be the new Provence in terms of sexy, textured rosé
• The importance of extended lees contact i.e. why Manfred refused to bottle Gruner until the last possible moment
