Cellar

Traditionelle Flaschengärung

The grapes are gently pressed, followed by fermentation and maturation in used 2,000-liter acacia barrels. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine rests on the lees for at least 48 months – a maturation period that imparts refined creaminess and an elegant mousse.

Wine Description

Medium yellow-green with silver highlights and delicate mousse. Subtle floral notes on the nose, accompanied by white tropical fruit, vineyard peach, and a hint of lime. On the palate, powerful and juicy with white stone fruit, finely structured and elegantly textured. Well-integrated fruit sweetness, refined grip, impressive length, and clear ageing potential.

Food Pairing

A wonderful match for pumpkin cream soup, inspired by the recipe in Falstaff – Austria’s Best Recipes 2020. Also delightful on its own – best enjoyed in good company on a relaxed evening with friends.
