100% Handpicked
The grapes for this wine origin in Furth, mainly on a high plateau on the foot of the Goettweig-mountain, on the southern side of the Danube river.
Soil
Loess (= calcerous loam-soil, aeolic sediments deposited in the last glacier-time) covering a mighty layer of glacial gravel-conglomerate from ancient Danube-terraces.
Harvest und Vinification
Beginning of October the fully ripe grapes were picked by hand with 20,5° KMW. After crushing and destemming the must was fermented on the mash — being pumped over twice a day — in stainless steel tanks, temperature-controlled for 18 days. It was pressed carefully and racked to 300l french oak barrels — 1/3rd new and 2/3rd used for maturing. After 12 months it was bottled and matured till released in September.
