Winemaker’s note: “The name says it all: up to 60 year old vines that make the stuff Christian’s dreams are made of. In detail the composition varies each year, at it’s core though the idea of the best-of principle always remains the same: Densely planted Grüner Veltliner rooting on pure, hard limestone — a demanding soil type that Christian and his friends carefully work by horse. Vintage 2022 spreads its wings over a very old Sauvignon Blanc garden: straight forward fruit, precise mineral and delicate like a juicy, freshly picked peach. A classic. Vintage 2023 adds a new dimension: next to some Sauvignon Blanc, a Furmint garden grown on schist and limestone shows off the potential of this vivid varietal.”
Age of Vines: Up to 60 years
Grapes:
2023: Grüner Veltliner, Furmint, and Sauvignon Blanc
2022: Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc
Vineyard: Limestone
Making of: Grapes are hand harvested and crushed by foot. The juice ferments and ages in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.
Personality: Like biting into a juicy, freshly-picked peach on a seaside picnic. Precise mineral, delicate and bright stonefruit.
