Varietal: 100% Grüner Veltliner
Elaboration: The wine is gently pressed using whole cluster pressing techniques. It is aged on the yeast for 4 weeks and then undergoes an additional aging period on fine yeast for 20 weeks. The wine is completely filtered using a chamber filter press. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 20°C for 10 days.
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow in color, this wine opens with delicate floral and peach aromas, followed by fresh notes of apricot, lime, and peach on the palate. Balanced acidity and vibrant minerality give it a lively, easy-drinking character, with a smooth structure and a lingering finish of stone fruit.
