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.

Wine Description
Grüner Veltliner Stein impresses with its precise and balanced interplay of spice and fruit, with notes of ripe apples and an elegant herbaceous nose. The freshness and pepperiness continue on the palate. A lively acid structure gives the wine length and freshness, with vibrant vertical structure.
