Wine Description
Deepness and complexity in the nose: freshly peeled Topaz apple, white pepper, fresh almonds.
Amazingly juicy and spicy on the palate; great fruit, supported by a present acidity structure. An exemplary mid-bodied Veltliner!
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.
