Wine Description
Firm and quite deep, clearly herbaceous-vegetable, delicately smoky and hinted at yeasty fragrance with quite fine aromas of ripe yellow fruits, a hint of root vegetables and minerality. Ripe, juicy fruit with sweet melting, but also rather tart vegetal flavours and mineral spiciness.

Vineyard Site
The DECHANT vineyard faces southeast and is well protected from north winds, yet well aerated. The soil is fine calcareous loess, which can reach heights of up to 60 meters on slopes, interspersed with gravelly inclusions. All this makes the Dechant a very good site for powerful, complex Veltliners.
