Burgundian character with open, lively aromas and a tight, stimulating length. A unique, large, characterful wine - balanced, complex aromas are combined with drafty acidity and multi-faceted elegance. The first of its kind - a return to the defining elements of this vineyard that has been valued for centuries.
Taste Profile: Brilliant, rich yellow-green colour; citrus fruit with floral notes of the sunny South, ripe stone fruit and smoky flint on the nose, taut and lively. Multi-faceted with a broad and lengthy presence on the palate, accompanied by salty minerality and fine sense of reduction. Great ageing potential.
Winemaking Process: A combination of spontaneous fermentation – a small proportion on the skins – and gentle ageing in 500 litre casks complements the taut structure so typical of Ried Karlsberg, with its open aromatics and breadth of texture. A cuvée of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
