Wine Description

Only in the best vintages sweet wines were produced at Tegernseerhof. 2015 was such a great year. Riesling Auslese from the vineyard Pfaffenberg - next to the Loibenberg. Gföhler Gneis and Amphibolitsoil punctuates the fine mineral taste. Cold airstreams provide a very well balanced structure with a vibrant acidity. Refreshing & exotic, charming & unique - a perfect match for hot asian dishes or light desserts.

Winery

The Tegernseerhof is situated in the middle of one of the most beautiful winegrowing regions in Austria – the Wachau, UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original facilities were built in 1176 by the Benedictine community of the Tegernsee Abbey. Today, Martin Mittelbach is the sixth generation of owners. Among the best-known, excellent locations and wines are Schuett, Hoehereck, Loibenberg, Steinertal and Kellerberg. As a member of the association “Vinea Wachau”, the vinification follows the regulations of the “Codex Wachau“ - a declaration of dedication to natural wine production and the strictest control. "The highest level of excellence must be the minimum we should expect from these wines." Martin Mittelbach.
