Harvest Dates Late October 2015
Sites Ried Achleiten, Weissenkirchen, Wachau
Fermentation Vessels Stainless Steel
Pressing Method Gentle Pressing After Several Hours Of Skin Contact
Barrel Size Large wooden storage cask
Bottling Date June 2016
Production Details Reduced yields were quantified as 5,500 kg/ha; this mass yield is retained here rather than converted to hl/ha. The grapes were strictly selected over multiple passes and hand-harvested in late October, followed by several hours of skin contact, gentle pressing and stainless-steel fermentation. After initial stainless-steel storage, the wine matured for several months in a large wooden storage cask and remained for a long period on fine lees before late bottling in June 2016. The producer recommends serving at approximately 10°C; the approximate value is retained here rather than entered as an exact serving temperature.
Food Pairing veal, pigeon, quail, spicy cheeses, rich fish dishes
