Tasting Notes
Karl Steininger:
The first experiments with glass closures.
Ripe, yellow fruit with exotic hints, a strong and full-bodied wine. The slightly perceptible residual sugar gives the wine what it needs to remain lively for a long time.

The vintage 2007
A fluctuating, rainy autumn led to increased botrytis pressure, which, through precise manual selection, resulted in exceptional wines.
