Velvety nose with deep fruit aromas, reminiscent of ripe apples and linden blossoms, a bit of incense, fresh hay, mulitlayered, green nuts, rich and full; appealing richness of taste, bursts with fruit of red apples and sweet oranges, powerful, sturdy and compact, medium long finish.

Harvest in mid of October. Whole bunch pressing, fermentation without temperature control and using only natural yeasts with maturation occurring in both stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels. The wine rested on the lees until the end of April 2016 prior to bottling at the beginning of July and release in September 2017.

A mild winter was followed by a dry March. April brought extreme changes in weather conditions, with an unexpected, abrupt late frost, which has affected the yield of many Grüner Veltliner vines. The summer months were generally quite humid, with periods of heat spells combined with much rainfall. There- fore we were very busy in our vineyards. September was sunny and warm, with cooler nights coming more towards the end of the month, which helped to retain the aromas in the grapes. The 2016 wines show an abundance of fruit characters and are generous in aromas and taste. Good complexity with refreshing acidity and length.
