Production Details Vineyards are managed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides; grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. The 2025 narrative records selective hand-picking at optimal ripeness, with harvest interruptions from occasional rain. The finished-wine panel states acidity of 8.2‰ but does not identify its acid-equivalent basis, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed. The English sheet says the site reaches more than 420 metres, whereas the German sheet says its stone terraces reach 420 metres; no exact elevation_meters value is proposed.
Tasting Notes Concentrated and intense; stone fruit, white peach, ripe apricot, exotic-fruit hints and smoky-mineral notes; substantial and deep, with lively acidity and aging potential
Food Pairing Spaghetti alle vongole, vitello tonnato, grilled sea fish, root carp, baked vegetables, roasted char, or steamed fish with coriander

Production Details Vineyards are managed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides; grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. The producer describes the 2024 harvest as exceptionally early, on 3 September, but does not define that date as the complete picking interval. The finished-wine panel states acidity of 6.8‰ without identifying its acid-equivalent basis, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed. The English sheet says the site reaches more than 420 metres, whereas the German sheet says its stone terraces reach 420 metres; no exact elevation_meters value is proposed.

Production Details Vineyards are managed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides; grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. A mild, dry winter and cool spring preceded hot summer conditions and hail; high September temperatures were balanced by cool October nights, allowing ripe, healthy grapes to be harvested. The finished-wine panel states acidity of 7.1‰ without identifying its acid-equivalent basis, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed. The site is described only as reaching more than 420 metres, so no exact elevation_meters value is proposed.

Production Details Vineyards are managed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides; grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. A mild, dry winter and wet April supplied moisture for the hot summer; rain disrupted the beginning of harvest, followed by sunny October weather and slow ripening. The finished-wine panel states acidity of 7.7‰ without identifying its acid-equivalent basis, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed. The site is described only as reaching more than 420 metres, so no exact elevation_meters value is proposed.

Production Details Vineyards were managed according to sustainable and increasingly organic principles, without insecticides or herbicides. Grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected; the must was fermented under controlled temperature and the wine aged on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks. The site reaches more than 420 metres above sea level. The finished-wine panel reports acidity of 8.3‰ without identifying its acid-equivalent basis, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed. A cold spring and cool summer delayed the growing season, followed by a sunny, dry autumn with cool nights.

The year began dry and warm, alternated between sunny and rainy summer periods, and suffered a severe late-August hailstorm; the producer describes the harvest quantity as marginal.

Production Details Vines on steep stone terraces were trained using the traditional Lenz Moser system. The reported average vineyard yield was 5,400 kg/ha; this mass-based observation is retained here rather than converted to yield_hectoliters_per_hectare. Grapes were hand-picked in mid-October. After unspecified-duration maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matured in stainless-steel tanks and spent several weeks on fine lees. The site reaches more than 420 metres above sea level. The rendered English analytical panel gives acidity as 7.8 with ambiguous unit notation, so no total_acidity_gl value is proposed.
Tasting Notes Lively bright yellow with a delicate green hue; concentrated stone fruit, white peach, ripe apricot, exotic-fruit hints and smoky-mineral notes; substantial and deep, with lively acidity, elegance and aging potential
Food Pairing Seafood, fish, roast duck, or goose
