Today: A get-together around a nice glass of “Fiederwäissen”.
Good to know:
Delicate, slightly cloudy and sweet, Fiederwäissen is a white wine from the current harvest, in the process of fermenting. It is often seen as an indicator of the quality of wines from the same vintage. Served slightly chilled or at room temperature, Fiederwäissen reveals its unique fruity aromas. This wine is tasted exclusively in autumn and can be enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif, or with the traditional onion tart.
Its name comes from the “feathers” (Luxembourgish: Fiederen) that float in the wine, giving it its white, cloudy appearance. These “feathers” are actually the active yeasts that transform the sugar in grape juice into alcohol. Once fermentation is complete, the wine will lose its cloudy appearance and characteristic taste.
