FEATURES

Tasting Notes
Notes of citrus, tropical fruits (pineapple, marakuya), green apple and light grass, with the addition of mineral shades. Refreshingly balanced, with bright acidity and fruity notes, completed with a clean and long finish.

Vineyards
The wine is made from the Sauvignon Blanc variety grown in the Austrian region of Lower Austria, especially in areas such as Kremstal and Wachau, which are known for their unique climate and soils. Warm summer days and cool nights provide optimal conditions for growing this variety of grapes, maintaining its brightness and freshness.

Production Method
Wine is aged in steel containers to preserve its freshness, fruitiness and purity of aroma.

After harvesting, the grapes are fermented at low temperatures, which helps to preserve its aromatic intensity and freshness. Wine is produced with minimal intervention to emphasize the nature of the variety and terroir.

Food Pairing
Goat cheese, salads, asparagus, seafood and white fish.

wine tasting tips for beginners

Wine is not just a drink — it is a whole experience. Its taste is influenced by serving temperature, the glass, aeration, and even how you take your first sip.

Preparation 🌡️

The right serving temperature is one of the key factors. Red wines 14–18°C, white wines 8–12°C, sparkling wines 6–8°C.

Which glass and how to hold it? 🍷

The best choice is a tulip-shaped glass (350–450 ml) with a narrowed top. Always hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine.

Aeration 💨

Helps open up aromas and flavours. Red wines — 15–40 min before serving, whites and sparkling wines are served immediately after opening.

Quick tip: gently swirl the wine in the glass

Wine Tasting 👄

First sip — small, spread the wine across your palate.

Second sip — assess the balance of sweetness and acidity, fruity and spicy notes.

Aroma 👃

Before sipping, inhale the wine aroma without swirling, then gently swirl and inhale again. Note fruity, spicy, floral and woody notes.

Wine & Food Pairing 🍽

Reds — meat, pasta, cheese
Whites — fish, seafood, poultry
