A wine that highlights the elegant
and delicate side of the vineyard. In the play of feathers from the Schön, lightness with length and minerality with acidity and fruit combine to form a harmonious structure. The wine is animating, fragile and yet compact. Needs 1 year to be completely open, and then for 2-3 years (depending on the vintage) to present itself in ever new facets.

About this wine

Description & facts

The Ried Schön consists of 57 individual terraces,
which spread over 130 meters of altitude - the differences in ripeness can last 10 days, depending on the location of the terrace. The Schön is spectacular and lives up to its name. The middle sections form its heart: there are the oldest vines, which are also vinified separately in the best years. In the ground, slate and also a little gneiss glimmers. Recurring rain from the Waldviertel region creates a potential danger of erosion. They prevent this by continually maintaining the ancient dry-stone walls and targeted planting of vegetation in the vineyards, which makes the soil firmer and provides good support for the vine roots. Harvesting usually takes weeks and sometimes does not end until November.

Tasting note
Pale yellow-green, silver reflections. Elegant and delicate nuances of candied orange zest, ripe yellow tropical fruit, mineral, fruity bouquet. Complex, juicy, yellow apple, fine acidity structure, meadow herbs in the finish, lemony-salty aftertaste, good potential.
Wine-food combination
White fish and white meat like poultry and veal.
Vinification
Wine-making is a constant and continuous reaction to the requirements of the grapes. We cultivate our own ideas in this respect - a little skin contact, warm fermentation temperatures, yeast contact - follow each step meticulously, yet try to influence the development as little as possible or intervene unmotivated. Most of the spring games and emeralds are stored in stainless steel tanks to reproduce the finesse and filigree of the wines as precisely as possible. Although we have clear ideas about the style of our wines, we try to keep our eyes on the bigger picture, free from dogma. We taste, experiment and listen: Other winegrowers but also our customers - because this is the only way to develop.
