The grapes come from the south-facing Ried Hundsberg near Ziersdorf, on limestone and sandy soils at around 270 to 285 metres altitude. After hand-picking and manual sorting, the wine ferments spontaneously in open vats on the skins, with around five per cent stems, for five to six weeks. It then matures for around eight months in a used 500-litre oak cask on the fine lees. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered. In the glass, it shows cloudy orange-yellow colour; aromas of apple, vineyard peach, dried herbs, tea, caraway and spices meet taut acidity, fine tannins and a smoky-mineral finish.
