Located in Lower Austria, its vineyards have long been respected for quality and tradition. The Reserve series highlights their dedication to expressing varietal purity and terroir, producing wines that combine heritage with modern wine-making finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis Grüner Veltliner Reserve is crafted at their Wilfersdorf facility. The winemaking team sources mature vines (many about 35-40 years old) from prime parcels. They use delicate handling in the cellar, low temperatures during fermentation, and cautious winemaking practices to preserve the grape’s tartness, aromatic lift, and natural minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe fruit for the 2022 Reserve comes from vineyards in Niederösterreich, especially from the Karlsberg \/ Wilfersdorf area in Weinviertel. The micro climate includes warm days, cool nights, with loess and fertile soils. The age of vines and cooler night temperatures help build structure, freshness, and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFermentation is carried out in stainless steel to maintain purity and freshness. After fermentation, there is a period of lees contact which adds texture and depth.
