Roots and character: A "Grüner Veltliner" with the distinctive characteristics of its variety, from Austria`s first registered designation of origin, DAC, which stands for Districtus Austria Controllatus.
It is the aim of the Weinviertel winegrowing region to push the domestic Grüner Veltliner variety to the forefront. The Weinviertel region boasts the best locations for growing Grüner Veltliner where this variety takes on its peppery, racy flavour. Furthermore, the variety is firmly rooted in the traditional viticulture of the region.
The 2009 vintage marks the seventh year of DAC, being acclaimed by connoisseurs as well as by critics as a history of success. Its qualities typical of the variety make our Weinviertel DAC a true representative: it features ripe apples (Golden Delicious) and citrus fruits (grapefruit), unfolds a peppery spiciness on the palate and has a racy structure and a pleasant body.

Complex aroma
The character of this wine perfectly reflects the relationship between soil and climate of the easter Weinviertel region. Ried Schachern is located near the childhood home of Anita Schwarzböck, some 60 km north of Hagenbrunn.
The clay and loess soil with its sandy subsoil and high lime content lends the wine a crisp acidity and a great aroma.

Temperament meets fine fruitiness: A perfect blend of the best of two vineyards in diametrically opposed locations. Sätzen, a Hagenbrunn location, has soil conditions typical of the Weinviertel region, i.e., deep loess soils with a somewhat higher clay content that produce brilliant fruit and a lush caracter. The steep Fürstenberg location facing south is quite the contrary - extremely sandy and dry, forcing the vines to push their roots deep.
Shaped like a caulddron, the location produces very ripe Veltliner grapes lending finesse and elegance to the wines.
This combination has created a very complete and multi-facetted wine. Balanced with the rich aromatics of ripe pears and pineapples, it reveals acidity and peppery spiciness, shows strength without being heavy. A classic first grade Grüner Veltliner.

Mineral notes and accentuated fruit: This location on a ridge of a plateau of Bisamberg Hill is marked by poor, rocky flysch soil. This forces the vines to push their roots deep and considerably influences the existing microclimate since the rocks store the sun`s rays and release the warmth during the night.
Facing east, the location warms up very early in the morning. This results in a Riesling with fine mineral notes and a pronounced fruit of peaches and greengage plums.
Its well-integrated acid structure as well as beautiful hints of fruits and herbs (e.g., lemon balm) make it a very exciting and inspiring wine. A perfect aperitif and a classic on hot days.
12% ABV, ideal serving temperature: 9 °C (48 °F)

Compact, yet inviting: Our Chardonnay vines are rooted in limy sandstone with marl, partly covered by sand and loess. The steep Aichleiten location faces southeast and warms very quickly, thus allowing us to produce very mature, yet fruity Chardonnays.
The 2009 vintage was aged in a stainless steel tank and reveals a fine bouquet of pineapple and banana. It appears compact and full-bodied, its fresh acidity adding excitement.
A classic with a full body, elegance and harmony, well-suited for many occasions and pairing nicely with a wide range of dishes.
