Soil Poor soils in the source vineyards
Sites Terraced vineyards, some supported by dry-stone walls, and vineyards along the Danube, mainly in Dürnstein and Loiben
Fermentation Vessels Stainless steel tanks
Pressing Method Pneumatic Tank Press
Production Details Vineyard work followed sustainable and increasingly organic principles without insecticides or herbicides. Grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected, pressed in a pneumatic tank press, fermented under controlled temperature, and aged on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks. The finished-wine analytical line reports acidity as 8.4‰ but does not specify the acid-equivalent basis, so it is not proposed as an unqualified total_acidity_gl value.
Tasting Notes Vineyard peach, subtle exotic nuances, pronounced fruit and tropical notes, concentrated stone fruit and salty undertones; racy, elegant, fresh and precise, with good length
Food Pairing Spaghetti alle vongole, vitello tonnato, grilled sea fish, root carp, baked vegetables, roasted char, and purist Asian dishes such as steamed fish with coriander
