Terroir:
The grapes for this wine come from Ungerberg, our best vineyard situated on a southwest slope facing towards Lake Neusiedl. The parent soil is formed by sea sediments that are around 7 million years old. The soil consists of silty loam, includes precipitated lime in numerous places and contains a high amount of limestone. These characteristics and the special microclimate in this vineyard are ideal for concentrated, complex red wines.
Harvest:
Following yield reduction to 6 bunches per vine, the grapes were carefully selected and harvested by hand on 02. October
Vinification:
Selection of the grapes, gentle processing, controlled mash fermentation in an open vat, malolactic fermentation, bâtonnage, matured in barrique barrels for 24 months, bottled on 12 April 2023
Tasting notes:
Deep dark ruby red; cool minerality and intense fruit of blackcurrants and wild cranberries on the nose; the fruit flavours continue on the palate, with a very compact, sappy and fleshy tannin texture and discreet liquorice on the very long-lasting finish (01 January 2024)
