TASTING NOTE

No bergamot ripens in this legendary vineyard site, but when you taste this wines it seems that it must! Also notes of summer meadows and dried sage. Fantastic depth and concentration, yet this beauty seems to skate on thin ice, rather than stand on massive foundations (which is often the case for Grüner Veltliners from here). Very long, delicate finish.

THE SITE

The vineyard site is located on the south-eastern slope toe of the Heiligenstein mountain, and is one of the warmest sites in this wine-growing region. The soil, which is calcareous and loamy, has derived from the underlying loess. In the higher parts of the vineyard, towards the Heiligenstein mountain, siltstones and sandstones of the Zöbing Formation, which contain little or no lime, reach close to the surface.

WINEMAKING

Harvest in middle of September. Whole bunch pressing, fermentation with natural yeasts. Maturation occurring in both stainless-steel tanks and large oak barrels.
The wine rested on the lees until middle of April 2025 prior to bottling beginning of August 2025 and release in September 2026.

VINTAGE 2024

2024 vegetation started very early. Tremendous frost towards the end of April hit the vineyards close to the Kamp River near the foot of the hills worse than we can ever remember.
After a warm summer we did start to pick very early, interrupted by heavy rainfall in the middle of September. Thanks to organic compost since 1979 (!) the soils have been able to retain the water immediately.
Luckily the grapes stayed very healthy and we could finish the smallest harvest ever with fantastic results.
