Graue Freyheit | Heinrich
Heinrich have always been one of Austria’s, if not Europe’s, most forward-thinking producers, and through their skin-contact, terracotta-bottled ‘freyheit’ or ‘freedom’ range- they are making some of the most exciting orange wines around. The Graue Freyheit is a thrilling mix of red berries, black tea leaves, spice and rhubarb that changes with every sip, but still retains precision. Give it a shake before serving.
