Vineyard

The grapes come from limestone- and volcanic-rock-influenced vineyards in Styria (South-East Styria), Austria. Sunny slopes meet cool downward winds, and the well-drained soils of chalk and volcanic rock allow the grapes to develop concentrated aromas and a clear structure.

Dealcoholisation detail

After barrel maturation, the wine undergoes dealcoholisation using two methods, often in combination: vacuum evaporation at low temperatures to preserve key aroma compounds, and reverse osmosis with multi-stage filtration. Both methods aim to remove alcohol while retaining aromas, using low temperature and pressure to minimise impact on texture and fragrance. Following dealcoholisation, the cellarmaster refines the style with a brief ageing on fine lees to add fullness, creamy texture, and fine smoothness.
