Wine Description
This wine is special in its own right, as it is a blend of five different grape varieties, with the majority coming from our oldest vineyard, which my grandfather planted. We now also source grapes from vineyards planted by each successive generation.
That is where the name comes from: we are the third generation to cultivate this vineyard.
This is also intended to honour the work our ancestors did for us to keep the business going.
The grape varieties used are Muscat, Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon and Traminer.
Winemaking begins with a three- to five-day maceration, followed by direct pressing,
fermentation and ageing in barrels for around 14 to 24 months, depending on the vintage.
The wine has a character all of its own thanks to the aromatic varieties in the cuvée.
Winery
Small family-run winery in southern Styria - Austria. Lively wine with a natural expression and play of formed aromas in the wine.
