Wine

“Ripe fruits like melons and a hint of pear on the nose with nuts and honey. This is well-structured and with a full-bodied palate, an abundance of juice, elegant freshness & creamy with endless pleasure.”

Vineyard

Grapes are coming from the single vineyard Altenberg in Göttlesbrunn with gravel & loess lower layers soil. It’s one of the cooler hills in the region with influences coming from the close forest and east-facing exposure. The Pinot blanc loves this Pannonian climate with its warm late summers and falls. It is because of this combination that the grapes get exceptionally ripe and makes the achievement of such an extraordinary extract on the palate possible.

Region
