Steinzeiler 2018

The appropriate moment has arrived to make the assemblage of our Steinzeiler 2018. First we taste it, and then we get to work.
The individual casks are decanted together with a gentle pump, washed out and then refilled.
Sounds easy – and perhaps it is, too – but this requires a great deal of intuition and a lot of experience at tasting.
When all is said and done, the sum should taste better than the individual components.
Now the Steinzeiler still has about 24 months of additional maturation in the small oak casks.

Cultivating the green fertiliser

We are cutting the grass mulch under and introducing yellow clover in the existing green lanes between the rows of vines. This increases plant diversity, aerates the greencover and provides light nitrogen mineralisation.

Harbingers of Springtime

The cowslips and the pheasant’s eyes are blooming in our vineyard Ried Durr.

The blackthorns and wild cherries are gleaming vibrant white at the edge of the woods around Gloria and on the slopes.

Springtime is arriving on the Leitha Range, and we are busy binding the last of the shoots onto the wires.
