Riesling Ried Gaisberg 2023
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.

Vinification
The grapes were selectively hand-harvested in early October, destemmed, and lightly crushed. After several hours of maceration, they were gently pressed at low pressure. Partial whole-bunch pressing. Fermented in stainless-steel tank, followed by several months of aging on the lees. Bottled at high atmospheric pressure during the waxing moon in July 2024. 100% artisanal.
Wine description
Profound bouquet with yellow fruit and mineral notes, youthful stone fruit, a touch of mandarin, smoky with a crystalline character. On the palate, juicy and refined, with a linear style and clear fruit expression. Crystalline structure with delicate mineral spice on the finish. Fantastic! - Giuseppe Lauria, Weinwisser
