GRAPE: Unfined/Unfiltered
We've been importing and distributing wine in the United States since 1975, with a focus on independent, classic producers. This podcast was started as a way to connect you to our winemakers and colleagues in the field, and we hope it gives you some extra insight on the grapex wines in your cellar or shelves.

Episode 7
We talked Manfred Felsner into letting us record his thoughts on a variety of topics, and distilled things down into a ten minute clip for you. Topics include:
- Why a vineyard with a mix of young, middle-aged, and old vines is rare in Kremstal but a kind of secret weapon
- Why Kremstal might be the new Provence in terms of sexy, textured rosé
- The importance of extended lees contact i.e. why Manfred refused to bottle Gruner until the last possible moment
