The "little" red from the banks of the Neusiedlersee, always so delicious !
80% Rotburger, 20% St.-Laurent
Hutweide and Prämium, on gravely soil, on top of the Wagram-Plateau, 50m above the Lake. Mostly sandy soil underneath a very intense layer of gravel with alluvial soil from the ancient Danube river. Already outside the haze of lake Neusiedl, it's a healthy but meager and very dry soil where physiological ripeness comes early.
3 plots of Rotburger planted between 1988 and 2001, 1 plot of St.-Laurent planted in 2022, for a total of 2.5 hectares.
Grapes are taken in at harvest, destemmed, and fermented naturally on skins for 6 days. No additives. Pressed and pumped the juice into stainless steel (Rotburger & St.-Laurent) and large acacia barrels (Rotburger). No additives and no temperature control at any stage of the winemaking. Wines matured on gross lees for 7 months without any additives, without fining and without filtration. Blended together shortly before bottling.

What a great place to live on the banks of the Neusidler See, just an hour south of Vienna. This is where Maria and Alexander Koppitsch have been making their fresh, lively and touching wines since 2011, highlighting the very special terroirs of this region straddling Austria and Hungary...
