Glimmerstein 2024

A wine like a portrait of the Loiserberg vineyard: 80 % Grüner Veltliner and 20 % Riesling, grown in the highest parcels of the Loiserberg in adjacent vineyards, side by side. The Loiserberg situated in Langenlois has always offered optimal conditions for both Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, and so this wine was created as a response to and enrichment of our single-variety wines. Because sometimes the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The focus is not on the two great grape varieties that are archetypical for the region, but on the soil and terroir in which they grow and which shapes them. The mica schist on the Loiserberg not only shines in the light when the sun falls on the soil from the south-west, but also characterises the vines that are deeply rooted in it and gives the wines structure and minerality.

Making of the wine
The grapes were harvested by hand on the same day from selected parcels in high-altitude vineyards reaching up to 380 metres. After several hours of maceration, the whole grapes were pressed together and fermented spontaneously in large neutral wooden barrels. The wine matured on the lees for around ten months, clarifying naturally during this time. Bottled unfiltered.
