Wine Description
Black cherry on the nose has an edge of red apple. The juicy palate majors on the fresh apple side and brims with bright juicy fruit. The body is light and the finish is lip-smacking. On warm days this will benefit from being a little chilled.

Vineyard
Vineyard Site
Due to a Pannonian climate that is moderated by Lake Neusiedl, we are graced with the ability to produce white, red and sweet wines of the highest quality here on the Leithaberg. Warm, dry summers and cold, dry winters combine with the typical wind of Burgenland to shape the vegetation of our region.

Winery
Erwin Tinhof owns vineyards in Eisenstadt, that grow on the slopes of the Leitha Mountains. The grapes nurtured are indigenous varieties, and this has been so for 11 generations.
The 18 hectare estate is cultivated in tune with local nature; Erwin Tinhof practises dry farming and does not apply any use of insecticides or herbicides, nor artificial fertilisation, to any of his vines. The estate vineyards are up to 50 years old, and contain grape varieties that are virtually completely Austria, such as the white Neuburger and Weißburgunder (Pinot blanc) as well as the black varieties Blaufränkisch and increasingly Sankt Laurent. The wines are produced from estate vineyards and following a hand harvest and winemaking with minimal intervention, the wines are bottled in the Tinhof winery.
Effective from the 2012 harvest, the winery became a certified naturally organic producer.
