Viticulture

The Zöbinger Gaisberg is the coolest part of the Gaisberg and is therefore an ideal place for elegant an minerality driven Rieslings. This southwest-facing vineyard is located in the southern foothills of the Manhartsberg mountain range. The soil consists mainly of non-calcareous, siliceous brown earth with a sandy, slightly silty consistency and a significant grit content. The bedrock is formed by mica schist and gneiss.


Vinification

Maceration on skins, controlled fermentation with natural yeast, lees contact for 5 months


Recommendation
