Cellar
After picking the grapes by hand, they are de-stemmed and crushed. This is followed by about 8 hours of maceration. After pressing, the freshly squeezed juice runs into large 1500l barrels made of Leithaberg oak. There it is fermented spontaneously, undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in the barrels for another 9 months.

Tasting Notes
This straw yellow wine is characterized by typical varietal aromas of apple, lemongrass and white pepper. The creamy texture is supported by fine minerality and carried by good acidity. The wooden barrel aging gives it additional depth and expression. The wine goes wonderfully with freshwater fish, veal schnitzel and fried chicken.
