Vineyard Site
The Käferberg vineyard is sloping to the south. The vines in our plots were planted more than 50 years ago and root in meager amphibolite soil. It is an airy site on top of the hill, which keeps the grapes healthy until late autumn. The temperature differences between day and night are very pronounced, resulting in an exceptional balance between fruit and spice.

Wine Description
The Grüner Veltliner Käferberg shines with its crystalline minerality and Kamptaler coolness. It is strong in character and multi-layered with intense fruit aromas, paired with lots of fresh spice and reflects the expressiveness of the variety with persistence and tension.
