Vineyard Site
The Leithaberg is the last remnant of the Alps reaching toward the Pannonian Plain. Its shell limestone soil is millions of years old and offers optimal conditions to grow complex wines. This unique calcareous soil and the cool winds from the adjacent Leithaberg Forest lends the wines an inimitable mineral, highly structured character.

Wine Description
Fresh, bright hints of Golden Delicious apples meet zesty lemon notes and a wet pebble stoniness on the nose of this wine. With air, the fruit grows more insistent. The palate is beautifully svelte and lets the apple and ripe pear fruit shine. Lemony freshness lends precision. There is concentration and just a little heat on the dry finish.
