Notes & Pairings
Gaisberg is the complete opposite of the Steinleithn site. A mere 100m away, Gaisberg is characterized by impressive, deep loess layers which provide the perfect setting for lime-rich, well-aerated and hummus-rich soils, making it a textbook Veltliner site. With the Danube in the background, this is where concentrated, spicy and creamy wines are created.
The wine was hand harvested at the end of October in small boxes, whole bunch pressing, slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks, extended period on the full lees for 19 month
