Vineyard Site
At the southeastern foot of the Heiligenstein lies one of the warmest sites in the winegrowing region. The soils are predominantly calcareous, composed of loess-derived loamy-sandy silt. Higher up, beneath the loess, the calcareous-poor to calcareous-free silts and sandstones of the Zöbing Formation emerge. This geological diversity gives the wines power, spiciness, and a distinctive minerality.

Wine Description
Bright, medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Delicate herbal spice, fine yellow tropical fruit, a hint of ringlet, underlaid with white apple. Medium body, fine fruit sweetness, delicate pear flavour, subtle acidity, appears somewhat broad-meshed, a hint of honey on the finish.
