Terrior
Kamptal, situated along the Danube River, benefits from a unique climate influenced by warm Pannonian breezes and cool alpine air. The region’s loess and primary rock soils add minerality and structure to the wine, while the diurnal temperature shifts help retain acidity and enhance the aromatic profile of Grüner Veltliner, producing wines with both precision and depth.

Nose
Aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white pepper, with hints of pear and a light floral note. Subtle undertones of wet stone and herbs add complexity to the bouquet.
Palate
Light-bodied with a crisp, zesty acidity. The palate is clean and refreshing, offering flavors of green apple, citrus, and a touch of white peach. A distinct minerality and a hint of the characteristic white pepper add depth, while the wine’s acidity gives it a mouthwatering quality.
Finish
Crisp and dry, with lingering citrus and mineral notes, leaving a refreshing and balanced aftertaste.
