Vineyard Site
Loess soils provide the special geological conditions for this typical Kamptal Veltliner. The vines are rooted in vineyards exposed to the south and southeast. During the Ice Age, loess was deposited from the "Kalkalpen", mainly by the wind. The vines can root extremely deep in it and can absorb the finest elements of the calcareous soils.

Vintage description
Nach dem trocknen und kühlen Start ins Jahr, erwachte die Natur mit den ersten Niederschlägen im April. Auch die Blüte ließ heuer wieder etwas auf sich warten und brachte ein aus Sonne und Wolken wechselndes Frühjahr mit sich. Durch den heißen, trockenen Sommer konnten die Trauben harmonisch heranreifen. Anfang September starteten wir voller Freude mit der Sekt-Lese. Kurz hielten wir den Atem an, als uns am 13. September ein Hagelunwetter traf. Der Rest der Lese verlief wie im Bilderbuch und wir schauen dem großartigem Jahrgang 2023 mit glücklichen Gesichtern entgegen.
