Description
  • “Zeit” means “time” and this wine fermented, spontaneously, for over a year before it could not go further and ended with 16 grams/L residual sugar and 7.6 acidity. The label showcases an old photo of the Calmont vineyard, from which all the grapes in this wine harken, but it also is a reminder of a time when this kind of élevage was normal. Kilian explains that “every year, one tank takes forever, and what can we do? We wait and wait and if it doesn’t get dry, it must be where the wine wants to be.” It’s richly textured, leesy, but also crunchy with spice. It’s a throwback wine to former times, but it’s also a fresh and intriguing offering from the Franzens.
