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
Very ripe notes of juicy yellow pear have a creamy, earthy element on the nose. Their creaminess continues on the full-fruited but fresh palate. It is that lactic roundness that lingers. The finish reveals a pleasant pithiness that will stand this in good stead.
