Vineyard Site
The south- and southwest-facing terraced slopes of the Heiligenstein vineyard are defined by a unique geological formation that has been preserved for millions of years. The bedrock consists of weathered desert sandstone and volcanic inclusions from the Permian period, found in this form only here. These distinctive soils are barren and well-drained, encouraging deep rooting and giving the wines their unmistakable spiciness, minerality, and longevity.
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.
