Production Details Vineyard work followed sustainable and increasingly organic principles, without insecticides or herbicides. Grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected; fermentation was temperature-controlled. The sheet reports acidity as 8‰ without specifying its analytical basis, so it is not represented as an unqualified total-acidity value.
Tasting Notes White peach, forest honey and hazelnut aromas; exotic fruit and quince on the palate; medium-bodied, elegant and balanced.
Food Pairing Austrian dishes including ham-and-pasta bake, rissoles with mashed potatoes and trout; Mediterranean saltimbocca or fish carpaccio; Vietnamese spring rolls and Indian paneer tikka.
