Wine Description
The grapes for this Pinot Noir ripen on the gentle slopes of the Leitha Mountains on calcareous soils. The mostly old vines produce an elegant, delicate and spicy Pinot style.
Tasting Notes
Floral-scented nose, elegant cherry aromas, wild strawberry, chiseled, fruity-fresh, great Pinot interpretation in a cool and pointed style (tasted by Uwe Schögl, Vinaria)
Food Pairing
This Pinot Noir goes perfectly with poultry dishes such as duck or chicken. Salmon or grilled trout also harmonize well with the fresh fruitiness and fine tannin structure of the wine. The Pinot Noir offers a balanced accompaniment to stronger cheeses such as Camembert or Brie.

Vintage description
The 2022 vintage was characterized by a warm, dry spring and a hot summer with occasional heat waves. Thanks to timely rainfall in August, the vines were able to complete their ripening process well. The harvest began somewhat earlier than average and yielded healthy, aromatically concentrated grapes with good acidity. Especially in the higher elevations of the Leitha Mountains, balanced conditions were found for elegant, mineral wines. Overall, the 2022 vintage promises wines with finesse, aging potential, and regional expression.
Harvest and Maturing
After the selective hand-picking, the majority of the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed, a small portion is used as whole grapes. The resulting mash is then fermented in stainless steel tanks, during fermentation the mash is pumped over (remontage) two to three times a day. Depending on the batch, the maceration time is one to two weeks. The young wine is then stored in large and small oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is allowed to mature for one year before the wine is clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
