Tasting notes
A very attractive fruit bouquet yields apple, peach and
citrus aromas along with a typical Veltliner spiciness and a touch of white pepper.
The soft and juicy palate is supported by fine acidity.
It sings on the palate!
VINTAGE NOTES :
The season began with a mild winter with little rainfall,
after which followed a rather dry spring.
Budding occurred in the second week of May and
flowering began in mid-June under ideal weather conditions;
dry and pleasantly warm.
The Niederösterreich region did suffer from an unexpected spell of frost and hailstorms,
from which the Kamptal valley was fortunately largely spared.
The summer months brought continued warm days,
interrupted only by much welcomed rainfall,
that guaranteed ample water management and
healthy nutrition content of the vines for an excellent development of the grapes.
This year's harvest started in early October and ended on 24th October.
Due to the cooler nights in the Kamptal valley,
the vintage promises a good balance between ripeness of fruit and vibrant acidity.
Accordingly, very fruity and harmonious wines can be expected this year, which,
similar to those from the 2020 vintage, display longevity and vitality.
