Description

Grandfather Anton planted his first vineyard 70 years ago, leading to a fortunate twist of fate. Two years later, what was believed to be Grüner Veltliner turned out to be Zweigelt. To this day, the reward for a year of dedicated work in the vineyard is a moment of happiness—Glücksmoment—sip by sip. The grapes were hand-harvested in mid-October, macerated for 10 days, spontaneously fermented at 28°C, aged for 9 months in large wooden barrels, and bottle-aged for six months. The vineyard’s soil consists of brown earth, silt, and loess. This award-winning wine is also suitable for vegans.
