Production Details The vineyards were farmed sustainably and increasingly organically, without insecticides or herbicides, and harvested by hand. Selected grapes were pneumatically pressed, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation and fine-lees maturation in stainless steel. The German sheet adds that, after initial steel storage, part of the wine spent a short period in a large wooden maturation cask. Its general 2024 vintage narrative dates the exceptionally early harvest to 3 September, but does not establish that every grape for this cuvée was picked that day.

Classification Smaragd
Region Wachau
Soil Poor vineyard soils
Harvest Dates Mid-October 2019
Sites Terraced and riverside vineyards, mainly around Dürnstein and Loiben; some terraces are supported by dry-stone walls
Fermentation Vessels Stainless-steel tanks
Production Details Grapes were hand-picked in mid-October. Labor-intensive cultivation of steep terraces and poor soils reduced average yield to approximately 7,300 kg/ha. After temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation, part of the wine matured for an unspecified period in large wooden casks. The sheet prints acidity as 6.4%, an anomalous unit that has been retained here as printed rather than normalized into total_acidity_gl. Recommended serving temperature is approximately 10°C.
Tasting Notes Medium green-yellow; expressive aromas of white pepper, black tea, dried herbs, quince and exotic fruit; complex, elegant and layered on the palate, with a long finish
Food Pairing Tafelspitz, Wiener Schnitzel and other fried dishes, grilled chicken or spicy fish
