Production details of Schlawina: Schlawina is made by Boris Kovacic at Projekt Wildtyp in St Margarethen, Burgenland, Austria. Kovacic, a former stem cell and cancer researcher, started this project in 2021 after saving nearly 1 hectare of 40+ year-old Neuburger vines from being uprooted. The wine sees 11 days of maceration on the skins, then ages 13 months in a mix of 65% new untoasted oak barrels and 35% stainless steel. No added sulphur.

Tasting Notes: We have not yet tried this vintage of Schlawina by Projekt Wildtyp, but we hear it has notes of pear, dried apricot, black tea, caramel and a saline citrus edge.
