Tasting Notes

Vines of up to 25 years old from limestone and slate vineyards on the Leithaberg slopes, sandy loam on the south- facing slope of the Parndorf Plateau, and the fertile Heideboden plain. Grapes were hand-harvested, with a pre- selection in the vineyards, followed by careful sorting in the winery. Grapes and must are moved with gravity flow, without pumps. Spontaneous fermentation and malolactic fermentation in wood and in steel with a total of 2 weeks maceration. Maturation in used 500L and 225L barrels. Bottled at the end of August 2014.

Medium ruby red. The nose initially displays Bing and amarelle cherry, then ripe blackberry, cool leafy spice, and notes of lovage. Light-footed, yet simultaneously firmly structured on the palate. Liquorice, black pepper, bright fruit, and fine-boned elegant tannin structure on the palate. Juicy and elegant with refreshing acidity on the finish.
