100% Grüner Veltliner from the Sauberg site, which features vines of more than 50 years of age on calcareous conglomerate soils. The grapes were selectively harvested by hand over several passes in mid-October. The gently crushed fruit had 12 hours of skin contact before gentle pressing without stems. Fermented with vineyard yeasts in used Austrian oak barrels. Aged for 11 months on full lees until bottling in September. Bright yellow-green, silver reflections. Discreet scent of honey blossom and ripe mango, a hint of pineapple, candied clementine zest. Complex, elegant, integrated acidity, mineral, fine spice, delicate stone fruit, good ageing potential.
