Moment of Silence 2012

An old world style white blend. Chenin, Chardonnay and Viognier, fermented and aged in 7 year old French oak barrels. The Story

This wine has been around since 2007. At the time I was not aware of it, but I was buying Chardonnay from a farm called Twyfeling (originally also owned by the Hauptfleisch family, 230 years ago). What makes this so significant is that my second name is Hauptfleisch, hence the H. in Pieter H. Walser. It refers to my mom's maiden surname. And the Hauptfleisch family that owned Twyfeling turned out to be my direct family, 7 generations ago... I only discovered this 2 years after I bottled the first Moment of Silence in 2007 - quite a confirmation don't you think?
