The grapes for this wine come from the renowned village of Westofen. Hence this Riesling can be categorised in the German equivalent of the French “village” level. The grapes were hand harvested early to maintain the crisp acidity levels. Most of the grapes were pressed directly, to retain varietal purity, although one part has been fermented on skins to enhance the phenolic structure of the whole wine. They mature in large oval oak for 9 month on the lees, to enhance the longevity off the wines. Gets bottled without fining, filtration or the addition of sulphites.

Vintage
2022 was a very odd one. Started out dry then got very rainy occasionally which resulted in a slightly earlier ripening and with wines that are fast developing, easily approachable and charming
2019 was a cold rainy vintage, naturally reducing the yield, resulting in wines with high vibrant acidity. Claimed to be the vintage of the decade in Wachau

Only perfectly healthy bunches were gently pressed in whole bunches. After pressing, the juice fermented and aged in clay amphoras for 10 month on the fine lees. Bottled unfiened, unfiltered without the additon of So2
2018 was a warm vintage that brought the harvest to the earliest ever 30st of August. The excessive rain caused tropical like conditions that made the plant protection very challenging and naturally halved the entire yield
2019 was a colder year compared to ‘18 that resulted in linear feminin style of wine
2020 was a warmer vintage somewhere in between ‘19 and ‘20 with not a lot of rain. Resulted in thicker skin and lower juice to fruit ratio. What it means in the finished wines is that you will experience deeper and more diverse aroma profiles and rounder acidity.
2021 was cold, wet year with lot disease pressure naturally reducing the yield, resulting in mineral, linear focused wines with great ageing potential.
Party in your mouth! Lot’s and lot’s of green apples, counteracted with a light creaminess and an engaging hazelnut hint. Hydrates better than water ;)

A textured, characterful Grauburgunder that balances reduction and gentle oxidation with remarkable finesse. The nose opens with nuanced reduction and a beautiful oxidative tone — toasted almonds, hazelnut, and a creamy, almost Comté-like depth that recalls a lightly topped-up Jura white. Beneath it all runs a flinty, limestone-driven minerality. On the palate, it is layered and savoury yet vibrant, finishing with clarity and lift. Complex without heaviness, this is Pinot Gris with tension, salt and quiet confidence.

The Trenning is the highest vineyard in the Wachau lying at a 550m altitude. The south exposer makes the viticultural viable on the otherwise cold, windy and dry territory. Due to the steep slopes it can only be cultivated by hand as no machinery is able to climb it. The usual gneiss base soil is enriched by graphite and some limestone resulting in higher acidity and a more feminine style.
