Pretschnigg Welschriesling

Südsteiermark Welschriesling can be more than a crisp, fresh addition to cold cuts …

Welschriesling from Südsteiermark is a well-known starter wine, light and fresh in taste. Our Pretschnigg Welschriesling is a great example of what this type of wine is all about. The grapes for this wine grow on vines that are around 30 years old, at the excellent Pretschnigg site, a sub-site of Nussberg. They reach full ripeness in this location, thus adding good structure to the wine. We leave it to mature in used wooden barrels for at least 18 months. In the bottle, it is sure to last for six or seven years, a true rarity from Südsteiermark that wine lovers should open after some years of aging.
