$29.17

Wine-description:

The Zierfandler-Rotgipfler grows particularly well in Gumpoldskirchen and is characterized by its outstanding piquancy: opulent and complex in its aroma, this Cuvée reminds one of tropical fruits, presenting itself as juicy, complex and of nearly baroque extravagance on the palate.

On the variety and origins of this wine:

At the heart of the famous white wine producing region of the Thermenregion, south of Vienna, the Klosterneuburg Monastery Wine Estate has been growing the two native varieties 50% Zierfandler (Spätrot "late red") and 50% Rotgipfler for decades. The vineyards in Gumpoldskirchen are home exclusively to these unique »south-of-Vienna« varieties, which do particularly well in the lime-stone rich brown earth soil there.

Wine Estate of Klosterneuburg Monastery:

Since its foundation in 1114 Klosterneuburg monastery has been growing wine and therefore is the oldest wine estate of Austria. With 108 Hectares of vineyards it is one of the country‘s largest and most renowned estates. The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf.

Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.
