Vineyard Site
Loess soils provide the special geological conditions for this typical Kamptal Veltliner. The vines are rooted in vineyards exposed to the south and southeast. During the Ice Age, loess was deposited from the "Kalkalpen", mainly by the wind. The vines can root extremely deep in it and can absorb the finest elements of the calcareous soils.

Weather / Climate

Vintage description
2021 was a particularly varied year in the vineyards and once again demanded a lot of experience, sensitivity and intuition. After a cool spring and late flowering, the summer was very varied: sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, but without heat waves. As changeable as the year had been until then, the weather remained stable during the harvest. The exceptionally beautiful and consistent autumn weather gave us the opportunity to harvest our parcels with absolute precision. The condition of the grapes was just perfect and the ripeness, acidity and aroma indicate an exceptional vintage that will be reflected in vibrant terroir-driven wines with longevity.
