Vineyard Management

The vineyards are located at about 200m above sea level on the Föllikberg. Characterized by clayey black earth on Leitha limestone, the cool south-east facing position lies at the foot of the Leitha Mountains. The vines are on average 30 years old. Dry Farming – Organic Compost – Cover Crop – Gentle Pruning

Cellar

The grapes are harvested by hand and then de-stemmed and crushed. After a few hours of maceration, the freshly squeezed juice runs into used 500l barrels made of Leithaberg oak. There it is fermented spontaneously, undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in the barrels for another 9 months.
