Bright light yellow colour. Aromas typical of Grüner Veltliner such as green apple, gooseberry and lime. Refreshing and lively character. Nice balance between fruit and acidity. A hint of pepper colours the finish. Natural wine with a pure and stable character.
Naturally delicious with a local Wiener Schnitzel, roast or fried chicken, pork roast with pickles, cold buffet and fried fish or other seafood.
- climate
-
Carnuntum is located in Lower Austria's southernmost and warmest wine region, on the Danube. It is characterised by a dry summer and a fairly warm autumn, allowing the grapes to ripen optimally. It is an offshoot of the Pannonian plain that benefits from a microclimate and is protected from the cold from the north by forests. The Danube regularises and flattens temperature peaks. Veltliner is grown near the river to ensure more fraîche.
- soil
-
Löss and red gravel (mixture of loam and finely eroded rock).
- vinification
-
Harvested by hand at the end of September. Gentle pressing of full bunches and loose grapes. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with 100% natural yeasts. Cold and slow fermentation. The wine is only siphoned once to keep the wine on its lees as much as possible. Not filtered.
