T.A.B.U
A unique whim of nature gave us this extraordinary wine: freezing cold met healthy, fully ripe grapes. The sudden onset of winter in the Kamptal offered us the historical chance to harvest what may well be the world's first S*****vese Ice Wine, and certainly the first in Austria. As the frozen berries were pressed, highly concentrated must dripped slowly from the press over many hours. During a slow fermentation, it developed into a unique, noble sweet wine with intense fruit, fine sweetness, and a vibrant acidity that provides great tension. A truly rare wine that won't come around again anytime soon.

Vinification
Selective harvest by hand in December 2023, at -10°C. The frozen grapes were slowly pressed off over several hours (only the tiniest bit of colour is extracted during this process). Fermentation in stainless-steel tank for several months. Matured in tank on the fine-lees for several months. Bottled at high atmospheric pressure during the waxing moon in February 2025.
Wine description
A golden-yellow wine with a very delicate pink shimmer. The nose reveals an intense aroma of yellow fruits, ripe peach, pineapple, also some red berry notes of raspberry and lingonberry, accented by a touch of incense and rose petals. On the palate, this intensity continues, coating the mouth with density and rich extract. Lively acidity meets sweetness, creating incredible tension, once again showing sweet red berries, juicy peach fruit, and forest honey, deep, vibrant, and with an everlasting finish.
