TAUSEND ROSEN®
A Grüner Veltliner in a class of its own.
From over 50-year-old Grüner Veltliner vines in the Feuersbrunn Ried Rosenberg vineyard. As fickle as nature herself, and therefore only available in certain vintages, so far 2003/6/12/18/23. We allow the wine its freedom while we wait patiently. In time, a thousand roses blossom.
Exceptional and limited.
There are vintages that leave us in awe. That fill us with gratitude and humility for the diversity that nature bestows upon us. Vintages in which our over fifty-year-old vines in our 1ÖTW Erste Lage vineyard, Ried Rosenberg, reach their peak and produce TAUSEND ROSEN®. An exceptional wine with the potential to age for at least 20 years.
HARVEST & VINIFICATION
100% hand-picked. 100% spontaneous fermentation. 100% basket-pressed. 100% Stockinger oak cask. It remains on the full lees for around a year and a half and is only bottled when the wine is in perfect balance.
ORIGIN
From the eponymous 1ÖTW Erste Lage vineyard Ried Rosenberg in Feuersbrunn. Calcareous, silty soil with up to 20 meters of loess.
Some wines need time. And then they blossom into something that lasts — like TAUSEND ROSES®
