Personality: Deep, serious white with wonderful flavor structure that you’ll nevertheless have no trouble drinking in a few instants – the best kind there is!

Vineyard: The lower part of the Hohenegg hill. Vines planted in 1993, 1996 and 2001 on Opok soil – limestone and clay silt. One-wire trellising system, quite typical for Styria. Biodynamically farmed by Roland himself, estate-owned.

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, with manual selection in the vineyard. Destemmed and gently pressed in open pneumatic press. Both the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations happen spontaneously in old neutral French barriques and 300L barrels. The wine spends about 12 months in total neutral oak casks. Bottled without fining or filtration, no sulfur added.
