THE VINEYARD SITE
The vineyard is situated below and to the west of the Gaisberg Kammern vineyard site, separated from the vineyards of Lamm by a ravine. The soil is a calcareous sandy silt that has formed from the underlying loess, alluvial deposits, and fragments of crystalline rocks such as gneiss, amphibolite and mica schist.
WINEMAKING
Harvest in mid-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 end of July and release in September 2016.
THE 2015 VINTAGE
The distinctive characteristics of the single-vineyard sites are especially evident in the wines from the 2015 harvest. Last year was a magnificent vintage, albeit one that demanded accuracy and diligence in the vineyard. Meticulous canopy management and intuitive steps were required throughout each and every vineyard, to enable our typical Hirsch style to sing out. Our 2015 vintage wines are aromatic, juicy and full of freshness, despite the untypically warm year, and display depth of fruit spice. All wines carry the Hirsch-hallmark characters of intense fruit and a broad aromatic profile at a relatively low-alcohol content.
