A natural slight CO2 remained in the wine to lift and freshen the palate.

Winery | The Gruner Veltliner vines are grown in the Wachau, the most prestigious viticultural area in Austria. The vineyard is located on the steep terraces of the Spitzer Valley with proximity to the Danube. The temperature variation in the valley, with warmer days and cooler nights, has a significant role to play in the ripening of the berries. These diurnal temperature differences result in concentrated fruit, with naturally high balancing acidity. The vines are grown in Gneiss soils, made up of schist and granite with a high mineral content. The yields are kept low at 25 hectolitres per hectare and hand selected bunches are harvested at optimal ripeness. |
