The grapes come from the eastern slopes of the Leithagebirge, from the Alter Berg and Lehmgruber vineyard sites in Winden and Edelgraben in Breitenbrunn. The limestone- and schist-rich soils, abundant in fossils, shape the wine. The grapes were harvested by hand in mid-September; 50 per cent remained on the skins overnight, while the rest stayed on the skins for two weeks. After pressing, the wine matured for 19 months on its own lees in large oak casks and amphorae. It shows white pear, green apple, herbs, citrus zest and mineral, saline freshness, with a slender to medium body. A particular feature is the unfiltered bottling with no added sulphites.
