Wine Description
Muted cherry-red with violet sprinklings. Initially leafy aroma with slight exotic wood followed by fragrances of dark berries.
They stick to the palate assisted by a salty aroma reflecting the minerality of the soil. A refined wine with exciting aroma and
floating elegance.

Winery
Being a wine grower is both our vocation and our commitment. It is our calling to produce wines with character and sustainably; it is our commitment to future generations. The distinctive character is shaped by several factors and methods, and these are responsible for the uniqueness of our wines. This is significantly influenced by the wine-growing region of Wagram and its grape varieties; yet specifically characterised by biodynamics.
