It takes decades for the vines to grow into a mighty, gnarled stature and for their roots to have penetrated the deepest layers of the loess and crystalline rock soils. Our Maximum is sourced from a carefully selected collection of these ancient vines that are growing in the historic terraced vineyards of Langenlois. Their yields are extremely low, resulting in exceptionally concentrated grapes. The valuable fruits are harvested late, when they have fully ripened to a golden hue. Before bottling, the wine matures for at least two full winters in traditional acacia barrels on the lees. This gives rise to a dense and mouth-filling Veltliner, pushing the limits of concentration and grape variety to the Maximum.
