Vineyard Site
The vineyards around the former Winkelberg Castle slope southwards and are located on a plateau behind the edge of the Wagram. Beneath the thick, fertile loess cover lie cold-period terrace gravels of the Danube and, again beneath them, clayey-silty, Miocene marine sediments with sand packets that indicate periodic storm events.

Wine Description
Bernstein, Birnenschale, Apfelkerne. Ausgesprochen elegant und leichtfüßig. Tänzelnd auch am Gaumen. Reife, klare Birnenfrucht, tolles Gerbstoffgerüst. Irrsinnig elegant, würzig und lang im Nachhall. Ein klassisch schöner, kühler und fordernder Grüner Veltliner!
