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
Earth, menthol, ripe quince and fresh red apple with an edge of orange peel create an intriguing and rich nose. The palate continues in this rich vein, presenting an almost oily texture against which fresh lemon plays and tingles. The rich fruit flavors come together, and the finish has a pleasant nuttiness.
