About Heinrich Naked Orange NV

In 1990, Gernot and Heike Heinrich established their winery. However, this was not their crowning achievement. What truly stands out about this venture is that they were the first producers in the Burgenland region of Austria to transition from white wines to reds. It was the latter that truly brought them fame, yet the Heinrichs did not wish to neglect the white varieties. Hence, they crafted Heinrich Naked Orange. 
 
As its name suggests, Heinrich Naked Orange is an orange wine, which translates to a white wine made in the manner of a red. This means that the principal step in its production—with due respect to the work of indigenous yeasts—is maceration, a process where the grape must remains in contact with the skins for a period. In the case of Heinrich Naked Orange, this lasts for two weeks, during which time it acquires the defining character that will mark the wine from its inception. 
 
It goes without saying that to undertake this production, the raw material must be of the highest quality; and in this regard, neither Gernot nor Heike have anything to fear, as Weingut Heinrich practices biodynamics. Specifically, Heinrich Naked Orange is a blend of various varieties that grow in the vineyards the winery owns on both sides of Lake Neusiedl. Part of the chardonnay, pinot blanc, pinot gris, traminer, and muscat used grows on the western side, on the limestone soils of the Leitha Mountains' slopes; the other part grows on the eastern side, in the Parndorfer and Heideboden plains, rich in gravel and humus. In both areas, the climate is continental, with sunny days and cool nights, tempered and softened by the proximity of the lake. Just as good tuna requires little in the kitchen, these grapes also need little more. Simply ensuring a healthy and diverse environment, with a varied ecosystem, where there is only room for natural remedies and manual labor. Indeed, the clusters are harvested by hand, one by one, and transported to the winery. 
 
Heinrich Naked Orange proceeds directly to crushing, where the berries are crushed, releasing some of the juice. Both the solid parts (including the stems) and the liquid are placed in vats where they will macerate for fourteen days. During this time, spontaneous fermentation occurs, initiated by the indigenous yeasts, until the process is complete and pressing time arrives. Heinrich Naked Orange is gently pressed, obtaining the clear liquid that will be transferred to clay amphorae and oak barrels, where it will rest for over a year and undergo malolactic fermentation. Such is the richness of Heinrich Naked Orange that filtering or fining is unnecessary, proceeding directly to bottling where only a pinch of sulphur is added to ensure it remains in good condition. 
 
Gernot and Heike Heinrich have demonstrated that, although the reds may steal the limelight, there is much to be said for a white wine that defies conventions. Cheers to that!
