Growing Conditions

The vineyards are located in a east-facing position at an altitude of 500 to 550 meters above sea level. At the foot of the Mendel Mountains, the vineyards find optimal conditions for fruity white wines, thanks to sunny, but not too hot days and cool nights, which contribute to fruit development and maintain acidity. The soil consists mainly of loamy marl with limestone gravel and porphyry sand.

Winemaking

Vinification begins with gentle pressing, using partly whole grapes and partly destemmed grapes. After must clarification, slow fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. This is followed by 6 months of ageing on the fine lees (70 % in stainless steel tanks and 30 % in large oak barrels) before the wine is filtered and bottled.
