What happens when you simply let the soil, climate and your own handwriting speak for itself in a wine and leave out the grape variety(ies) and the weather? Some would say that this would be pure terroir - we don't say that, but we still find the experiment exciting and the wine great.
What we know about the Bicolor: Not much. Except that it comes from Georg Schmelzer's vineyards. Which is actually enough to meet it with curiosity and excitement and to have a certain amount of trust in it. And that it was made from white and red grapes.
What we don't know about the Bicolor: We don't know which grape varieties it was made from, which vintages it came from or which barrels it was in.
ps: What else we know. We know that the Bicolor was fermented spontaneously and bottled unfined and unfiltered - we know this because Georg Schmelzer always does it this way.
