A single vineyard with 100% schist, on a pure southside was planted in 1980. Special about Welschriesling is that two vines were planted on the some spot. That‘s why the vineyard has a high area density up to 10.000 vines per hectare. It means in combination with the stony soil, every vine has to fight for the rare nutrients. The grapes and in fact the berries are smaller than usual – a natural concentration caused by these unique conditions. 10-20% of this wine is fermented with skin to keep the variety going and going on the palate – a never ending story. Aged in 600 liter Austrian oak barrels for 14 month.
