"We started our journey in 2011. When we took over the family vineyards – our focus was clearly on varieties. We wanted to explore the different characteristics and facets of each variety we grow (we grow 12 different varieties on 20 different plots) Doing so with a pronounced sensibility for the different soil conditions our vines grow on. Every year our concern for the significance of the soil grew. Why? Because we felt that all single-varietal-wines that grow next to each other develop similar flavors and aromas. This factum lead us all the way to what is essential to us now: our very passionate commitment to soil. Our full commitment to soil kicks off new paths, new challenges and new wines. We changed our portfolio and the names of all our wines and wine ranges.
We took in the grapes, destemmed, and fermented them naturally on skins for 10 days. No additives. No temperature control. Then we pressed them and pumped the juice into stainless steel (Zweigelt + St.Laurent) and large acacia (Zweigelt). The wines matured on gross lees for 14 months without any additives, without fining and without filtration. No air-condition in the cellar. Blended together shortly before bottling without any additives. At bottling we added 5mg of sulfur. Unfiltered."
