Wine Description
The Opok wines grow on the lower parts on the vineyards. The brown clay is dominant and the Opok is deeper down. That resuls in good growth for the vines and juicy aromatic combined with our typical texture of tannic and acidity. Thees wines are earlier ready to drink, but can last also for year in the bottle.
The Welschriesling variety is one of the very typical from Styria and brings delicate, light wines.
Winery
Small family-run winery in southern Styria - Austria. Lively wine with a natural expression and play of formed aromas in the wine.
