Vineyard Site
The vineyard, which is situated on the south to southwest side, is laid out in terraces, reaches up to 380 m above sea level and is one of our highest sites. The vines are deeply rooted in crystalline mica schist. The Loiserberg is the most westerly elevation in Langenlois towards the Waldviertel region and therefore enjoys a very special microclimate. Even on warm summer days, the vines here are surrounded by cooler winds from the rougher Waldviertel region, which gives the wines a ripe acid structure, cool elegance and lightness.

Wine Description
Die vollreifen Trauben wurden Mitte Oktober in mehreren Durchgängen von Hand gelesen und in stapelbaren Kisten auf gefederten Anhängern schonend zum Presshaus gebracht. Die Trauben wurden entstielt, gequetscht und für einige Stunden mazeriert (Maischestandzeit), um die Aromakonzentration im Traubenmost zu optimieren. Danach kommt der Most in große Holzfässer aus heimischer Eiche und wird mit den traubeneigenen Hefen langsam vergoren. Anschließend wird der Wein auf seiner Feinhefe gelagert. Anfang August wird der Riesling auf die
Flasche gezogen.
Food Pairing
Die transparente Frucht unterstreicht besonders die Feinheit von hellem Fleisch wie Geflügel, Kalb und Fisch.
