About wine:
The ‘In Rossern’ and ‘Neuberg’ vineyards are ideal for growing Chardonnay. The vines are 28 years old. The wine is grown in sandstone soil, which gives it its distinctive flavour. The vineyards are surrounded by a green area, which ensures there is enough moisture for growing the grapes even during dry periods.
-
Harvest and ageing:
The harvest takes place annually in mid-September. The grapes are carefully selected by a team of pickers, and not all of them are suitable for making this delicious wine. The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Before pressing, they undergo 12 hours of skin maceration. The wine is aged in cool cellars with automatic temperature control at 18°C.
50% of the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 50% is fermented in large acacia barrels. -
Suitable for food pairing
Dry Chardonnay from Lower Austria pairs beautifully with roast chicken or turkey breast, as well as fish such as grilled trout. It also complements creamy pasta dishes and cheeses like Brie. Its fresh acidity and full body make it ideal with grilled vegetables or seafood, too.
