Ziereisen 'Heugumber Carbonic Maceration' Chasselas

Ziereisen “Heugumber -  Carbonic Maceration” Chasselas – Baden, Germany

Hanspeter Ziereisen is known for pushing boundaries, and this limited carbonic-maceration version of Heugumber shows just how playful and expressive Chasselas can be in the right hands. Instead of the classic, gentle, mineral-driven style, this cuvée undergoes full carbonic maceration, giving it a burst of juicy fruit, lifted aromatics, and a light, vibrant personality rarely seen in the grape.

The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of pear, white peach, citrus rind, and a hint of alpine herbs. On the palate, it’s refreshingly crisp and feather-light, offering lively acidity and a soft, subtle fizz of energy from the carbonic method. A stony, mineral echo lingers on the finish, grounding the wine and reminding you of its limestone-rich Baden origins.
