Wine flavored with wild hops

Around the fence of one of the Weninger orchards, wild hops settled down a few years ago. None of their beer brewer friends wanted to work with this wild hops. Therefore, they decided to process it themselves:
The fresh, uncooked hops was added to the wine during fermentation and remained with it for several weeks in the amphora. Since the wine was directly pressed Blaufränkisch, tannin and fruit on the palate of the Glimmer of Hops are attributed to the hops.

We love it as an aperitif, served cool or slightly chilled at 12-14°C!
