About wine:
The grapes are grown on the family winery’s 110 hectares near the village of Stetten outside Vienna. The vines grow in sandstone soil, which gives the wine its distinctive flavour. The vineyards are surrounded by lush greenery, ensuring sufficient moisture for growing grapes even during dry periods. This wine is also suitable for vegetarians.

Harvest and ageing:
The ‘In Rossern’ and ‘Neuberg’ vineyards are ideal for growing Chardonnay. The soil consists of sandstone and clay. The vines are 28 years old.
The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Before pressing, they undergo an 8-hour skin maceration. A small portion of the juice, 10%, ferments and matures in French oak, while the rest is fermented and aged in stainless steel. -
Suitable for food pairing
Dry Chardonnay from Lower Austria pairs wonderfully with roast chicken or turkey breast, as well as with fish such as grilled trout. It also complements creamy pasta dishes and cheeses like Brie beautifully. Thanks to its fresh acidity and full body, it is ideal with grilled vegetables or seafood, too.
