Allram
Lower Austria, Kamptal
GAISBERG is a classified Erste Lage and probably the best spot for elegant and complex red wines in the Kamptal. Further it is one of our oldest vineyards.
Elegant light red colour, excellent spicy fruit, delicate sweetness with a well-balanced acidity, mineralic, on the palate fruit driven, juicy and dense, elegant, long and multi-faceted finish
Viticulture
One of our oldest vineyards. It extends up to 330 meters above sea level, occupying a steep, east-facing
slope that runs down towards the Straßertal valley, and a gentle decline towards the south. The soil in
the upper part of the area has developed on paragneiss, mica schist, and amphibolite bedrock, while at
the southern foot of the slope a soil rich in humus has developed on a thick layer of loess. It´s here were
some of the best red wines of the Kamptal thrive.
Vinification
Cold soak, open top fermentation, manual punch downs, malolactic fermentation and aging in 228L barrels for 2 year.
Recommendation
A real all-rounder. Serve at 8-12°C
