Vineyard Site
The Zöbinger Kogelberg is an outlier of the Waldviertel high plateau, forming a broad north-south ridge marked by the Friedenskreuz and its descent toward the village of Zöbing to the southeast. The south-facing slope is terraced, where the pronounced temperature differences between intense daytime sunshine and the cool Waldviertel nights enhance the fine fruit expression of the wines. Geologically, the site is shaped by primary rock, mica schist, and amphibolite, creating meager, well-drained soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines.

Wine Description

Pale golden yellow, with silver reflections. Delicate notes of honey and apricot, fresh mango, candied mandarin zest. Juicy, elegant, fine nuances of yellow fruit, well-balanced, salty minerality, a hint of ripe stone fruit in the finish, a balanced food companion.

Tasting Notes

Karl Steininger: A delicate yellow-fruited nose—what the aroma promises, the palate delivers with the same exotic notes: stone fruit, ripe pears, and a hint of caramel. Warm fruit with very fine acidity, a juicy finish with plenty of elegance.
