ABV
From the beginning a lot of wine in the glass. Field cucumber, diced peppers and bunches of herbs flow through the nose. After a short time also some star fruit, precise aromas of savory and kumquat. On the palate ripe yellow fruits and again notes of herbs and citrus fruit. A balanced acidity runs through the whole wine and plays with the fruit melt. Light-footed and very expressive. A vinophilic mirror of southern Styria.
(Thomas Schabl, certified sommelier)
grape variety
Sauvignon Blanc: This variety has small leaves and dense foliage, the grapes are small, compact and cylindrical, the berries have a spicy, intense flavour.
Welschriesling: The variety ripens very late and therefore needs warm, well-ventilated sites. The grapes are medium sized, cylindrical and have a small grape cluster.
