at the harvest, red grapes

December 2022 | We are happy about the first bottled wines of the 2022 vintage!

Junior 2022 was created from a blend of 65% Gr. Veltliner and 35% Muskateller. Its freshness, fruitiness and juiciness make it drinkable and charming.

The light wine Franzi 2022 (9.5% vol) and Grüner Veltliner Vier Zeiten 2022 are particularly crisp and stimulating.

Harvest Diary 2022

September 2022: After the harvest for the light wine Franzi (Müller-Thurgau, Grüner Veltliner), we were able to harvest the majority of the Muskateller grapes. The average gradation is 17°KMW. From 19.9. it really starts with the harvest of Grüner-Veltliner.

 

October 2022 | The harvest is in the final

The vineyard wines were harvested in the first week of October. The gradation was between 18 and 20 °KMW (depending on the variety and location). We are extremely satisfied with the results.

First conclusion: This year, the quality-oriented manual work in the vineyard has paid off. Due to the drought, the vines were stressed in summer. With multiple green harvests and other measures, we were able to produce healthy, ripe grapes.

Single site wines of the 2021 vintage

April 2022 | During the Easter week, the first vineyard wines were bottled, which we would like to introduce to you below.

 

The Grüner Veltliner Ried Satzen matured in steel tanks is spicy and smooth.


Gemischter Satz Premium Ried Aichleiten was created from Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Gris. Its abundance of fruit and its finesse flatter the palate.

Pinot Blanc Hohe Ried is a typical representative of the variety from the northern Weinviertel. It is aromatic, spicy and harmonious.

Riesling Hagenbrunn (formerly Bisamberg-Kreuzenstein) is playful and fruity, fresh and creamy at the same time.

The 2021 vintage

The budding phase was characterized by very cool and dry weather. The long-awaited rainfall did not come until the end of May and the vines very quickly caught up with the vegetation, so that flowering took place in the second and third week of June.

The summer was changeable. There was sufficient precipitation, but there were fewer hours of sunshine, so that in the third week of August the harvest was expected to start rather late. The last days of August and the whole of September were characterized by consistently fine and dry weather, which led to a rapid progression of grape ripening.

We were able to start harvesting Grüner Veltliner grapes for the Weinviertel DAC on September 26th. That was 10 days earlier than we would have thought at the beginning of September.

The grapes were consistently very healthy. The white wines show a mature aroma, accompanied by a slightly higher but very mature acidity. It can rightly be said to be one of the best white wine vintages of recent decades.

With the red wine, we were able to wait quite a long time because of the healthy grapes, so that we can assume a good vintage there too.
