Wine Description
Thyme, dark ripe cherries, enormous spiciness in the nose; meaty, a hint of fine dare chocolate. Pure coolness on the palate, vibrant, with a crisp and present acidity. A beautiful, cool Pinot, that still stands at its beginning!
Winery
Being a wine grower is both our vocation and our commitment. It is our calling to produce wines with character and sustainably; it is our commitment to future generations. The distinctive character is shaped by several factors and methods, and these are responsible for the uniqueness of our wines. This is significantly influenced by the wine-growing region of Wagram and its grape varieties; yet specifically characterised by biodynamics.
