Riesling Ried Gaisberg 2022
Thanks to its slightly milder microclimate, the Gaisberg has historically been one of the most significant Riesling vineyards in the Kamptal region. The soil here is comprised of a diverse array of metamorphic and crystalline rocks. Our vines grow on two terraces, on gneiss with occasional pockets of granite and marble, covered by a thin layer of loess at the foot of the hill. The Rieslings produced on this slope are known for their concentrated fruit flavors and a rich, warm minerality.
