Grüner Veltliner 2025
Region
The grapes come primarily from our Bühl vineyard, where deep, sandy loess soils with limestone content create ideal growing conditions. North-facing slopes offer balanced sun exposure, while the fine-grained soil acts like a sponge, holding both water and oxygen. This “breathing” earth supports vibrant microbial life and makes irrigation unnecessary. With roots reaching up to six metres deep, the vines remain well-hydrated even in the heat of summer.
Wine data
Harvest & Vinification
Spontaneously fermented, this Grüner Veltliner is juicy and vibrant, with classic peppery spice and a well-structured acidity. After a skin contact of 3–6 hours, it ferments at 19–20 °C and matures for four months on full lees in stainless steel, before being bottled in February.
Vintage 2025
Following a dry winter, abundant spring rain created ideal conditions for growth. By harvest, the vines had stored 80% of their water needs. Budburst in mid-April was nearly frost-free, and Carnuntum remained untouched. Summer brought familiar heat, prompting harvest to begin around August 20. Small, concentrated berries defined the vintage. A brief scare came mid-September with 250 mm of rain in one week, but overall, 2024 mirrors the quality of 2018 — with even better water retention.
