Terroir:
The grapes for this wine come from elevated, flat vineyards on the Parndorf Plain. The characteristic soils there are cooler, limy, deep gravel soils that give very ripe and complex wines but still enable the wines to develop fine, prominent fruit aromas.
Harvest:
Yield reduction to 1 bunch per shoot, carefully selected and harvested by hand on 12 and 16 September.
Vinification:
Selection of the grapes, gentle processing, 7 days’ cold maceration, controlled fermentation and malolactic fermentation in barrique barrels, bâtonnage, matured in barrique barrels for 16 months, bottled on 02. October 2024
Tasting notes:
light shiny straw yellow with green reflections; fragrance of vineyard peach, pear, quince and white pepper on the nose; very fine minerality with brioche and a hint of vanilla; the fruitiness continues on the palate with aromas of pineapple and citrus with underlying, very subtle clove spiciness; very sappy and a long finish with a hint of salty liquorice and a good texture (02 October 2024)
