About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Kaltern at the Seehof vineyard, near the lake. The soils are sandy-clay over limestone gravel, and cool nights help retain acidity and enhance the aromatic profile.

Vinification

The grapes are carefully selected and undergo a short cold maceration. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine ages on the fine lees, which gives a softer, rounder texture while preserving the purity and brightness of the aromas.

Tasting profile

Bright and juicy. Rich aromas of ripe peach and nutmeg stay fresh and light. The palate has expressive fruit and noticeable acidity, which makes the wine food-friendly. The finish is long and intense.
