The vines grow on moderately to highly calcareous brown earth with moderate humus content, as well as sandy, coarse-blocked Leitha limestone gravel. The grapes are hand-harvested and left on the skins for six hours. The wine then undergoes spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts and is matured for twelve months in a used 600-litre oak cask; no malolactic fermentation takes place. It shows blossom honey, meadow herbs, pear, candied mandarin peel and mirabelle plum, alongside a chalky-mineral character, fresh lime notes, gentle tannins and a dry, multi-layered body.
