The complex aromas are mirrored on the palate, where their are complemented by harmonious sweetness und a fine woven acidity structure. It displays elegant fruit flavours and a long refined honeyed finish. alcohol by vol: 13,0% Vol., acidity: 7,1‰, residual sugar: 76 g/l Ried Schenkenbichl The Schenkenbichl site has a profound soil profile, which includes a rare brownish-black earth. The vines are capable of rooting deeply and absorbing the nutrients and minerals from different soil layers. The airy southern site benefits from warm western winds. Thus, the grapes stay healthy until late autumn and can be left in the vineyards until they naturally reach their full natural concentration. There, the old Grüner Veltliner vines yield wines with full complexity, expression and elegance. The wine-making The over-ripe shrivelled grapes were selectively picked by hand at the beginning of November with a sugar content of 26° KMW (appr. 130° Öchsle). The grapes were then carefully transported to the press house in small crates to protect the berries from being crushed in the field, and subsequently, the whole clusters were very gently pressed. Due to the slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks the aromatic components are preserved in an optimal way. After a maturation period in the 700 year old cellar labyrinth the wine was bottled in June. Ageing potential: 2021 Food accompany: This wine is a wonderful match for all pâtés and desserts.
