- It is 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. After a few years, Johann is building a formidable reputation for concentrated, mineral-laden white wines. His wines are always in high demand. The production from his five hectares of hillside vineyard in the Spitzer Valley is minuscule, but despite this, his prices remain competitive.
The grapes were harvested at optimal maturity and meticulously sorted. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of the fruit and the ultimate expression of the Spitz terroir.
This enchanting wine delivers distinctive aromas of peach and apricot. Crisp, with pure varietal character, it echoes on the palate. It has an excellent structure and a lively finish. It's a Lovely Riesling expression.

Winery | The grapes come from the Spitz vineyard in Western Wachau. The vines are grown on steep hillside terraces, making up several Spitzer Graben vineyards. The vines are planted at a southwestern 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. It is dominated by pegmatite and calc-silicate gneisses, which have low water retention and help impart structure to the resulting wine. |
