The catalogue’s analytical line also reports WS 7.1 and RZ 1.0, but does not print their units or define WS on the product page, so they are retained contextually rather than proposed as canonical total-acidity or residual-sugar values.

Production Details Vines were trained using the Lenz Moser system, with an average grape yield of 7,500 kg/ha. Healthy fruit was selected at reception, followed by gentle pressing, overnight sedimentation, temperature-controlled fermentation and subsequent maturation in stainless-steel tanks, with moderately reductive handling. The producer recommends serving at about 8°C. The German analytical line prints acidity as 6.4‰; the English companion prints 6.4%, so no unqualified total_acidity_gl value is proposed.
Tasting Notes Brilliant straw yellow with green highlights; fresh apple, white pepper and wild herbs; medium-bodied, refreshing, balanced, fruity and spicy, with a subtle, racy finish
Food Pairing Wiener Schnitzel, poultry and a wide range of fish dishes
