Impressive south facing terraces with a thick loess layer on top of the primary rock soil behind the old town of Krems. This typical Gruener Veltliner is a classified Erste Lage, located just behind the old town of Krems. Very supple and mineralic due to the loess and the primary rock soil of its origin.
In our press house we use the principle of gravity. After the grapes were destemmed, the must is fermented under controlled temperature. The ‘Wachtberg’ grapes were harvested in the mid of October. Gentle processing of the fruits. Maceration time 6h, sedimentation 48h, fermentation 8 weeks. The wines mature on fine lees until June; bottling in July 2024.
