Wine Description
The Ruine (ruin), a barren mica slate in a beautiful terraced setting, planted with Grüner Veltliner. Harvested, the entire grape crushed and fermented in an open vat. After 3 months the grapes were moved to a stainless steel tank and left there with all the lees until bottling. A mash fermenter that is something to be proud of. Grandma's soup pot is a favourite with everyone, and when apple strudel comes to mind, the glass of wine will accompany you into a long-gone future.
