Even my winemaking approach is a rather puristic one (no additions besides sulphur, in case of BF dogma not even sulphur), I don´t want to make a faith of it after all. I am aware, that "leaving out" also can be a strong stylistic device; particularly in vintages with low sugar ripeness, like 2014 in Austria, that low alcohol can be an unique selling point. But both, market and production in terms of wine are so diverse, that there is a place for everyone and everything. Being vintner and winemaker is not a cakewalk, most of the time. Considering this, I respect different attitudes and styles, even if I prefer wines, reduced to essential - in making and drinking.

Best,
