Grape varieties & region
Grüner Veltliner – bright citrus and herbal spice
Riesling – fine acidity and floral‑citrus precision
Zweigelt – light red fruit and gentle structureAll grapes come from Kamptal, a historic and cool‑climate wine region in Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), Austria, known for expressive whites and elegant blends with energetic acidity.
Tasting notes
Light‑ to medium‑bodied, this wine opens with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, grapefruit and subtle wild strawberry from the red‑varietal component. The palate is fresh and focused, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit balanced by a hint of red‑fruit freshness, fine mineral tension and a clean, textured finish that keeps the wine vibrant and food‑friendly.
Style & winemaking
Produced using minimal‑intervention, natural winemaking techniques, the grapes are harvested from vineyard sites, whole‑bunch fermented together (including lighting pressing of Zweigelt skins for a Blanc de Noirs effect), then whole‑bunch pressed and aged in neutral barrels to build texture without overt oak influence. Indigenous yeasts drive fermentation, with little or no added sulphur, preserving purity, terroir expression and natural complexity.
Food pairing
Pairs beautifully with:
Fresh oysters, prawns and shellfish
Sushi or sashimi with citrus sauces
Light autumnal pasta with herbs
Soft cheeses and creative tasting plates
