The vines are planted in the south-facing Kalkofen site near Ritzing, at 342 metres above sea level. The calcareous, warm soil and the estate’s coolest site combine warmth with pronounced freshness. The grapes were selectively hand-picked on 29 September 2023 and spontaneously fermented for ten days in wooden or concrete vessels. The wine then matured for 22 months in oak casks and underwent natural malolactic fermentation. Bright berries, lively acidity and fine, grippy tannins define the youthful, electrifying finish, with a chalk-dust-like texture.
