ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The young, dynamic and modest Johann has been making elegant, defined and terroir-driven wines for 25 years and has carved out a formidable reputation – his wines are always in high demand. His two hectares of family-owned vineyards cling to the precipitous, schistous slopes of the Spitzer Valley. Johann cultivates sustainably and holds the Vinea Wachau sustainable certification. He manages the vineyards to give incredibly low yields and his production is miniscule, but despite this, his prices remain really competitive. Many wineries in Austria pick with a proportion of Botrytis-affected grapes to add sweetness, but Johann believes this distracts from the exceptional terroir he has. His wines age incredibly well, and his multi award-winning wines and rave reviews attest to his methods and approach.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes come from the Spitz vineyard in Western Wachau. The vines are grown on steep hillside terraces which make up several vineyards in the Spitzer Graben. The vines are planted with a south western orientation. Cooling breezes help to keep the climate temperate. The soils are very sandy and have high heat retention properties. The soil’s composition is the result of weathering of the local rocks and it is dominated by pegmatite and calc-silicate gneisses, which have low water retention and help to impart structure to the resulting wine.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were harvested at optimal maturity and meticulously sorted. Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, in order to retain the purity of fruit and the ultimate expression of the Spitz terroir.

TASTING NOTE:
An enchanting wine delivering distinctive aromas of peach and apricot. Crisp, with pure varietal character echoed on the palate, this refreshing wine has an excellent structure and a lively finish. Lovely Riesling expression.

GRAPE:
Riesling 100%.
