GRAUBURGUNDER 2021
This wine is the definition of "harmony". Calming, relaxed and in balance.
Our Grauburgunder is regarded the best in our region. This vintage is no different.
This is a wine that tunes out the noise and proves that slowness is a talent that cannot be underestimated.

A year that got a lot right. The mild winter led to early budding and a long vegetation period. A cold May followed by hot June ensured fast and friction-free flowering. The dry summer forced the vines to search deep in the ground for moisture, and the cool September nights were responsible for making the vintage taste so deliciously aromatic and refreshing.

Our Ried Hoch Sernau vineyard is a steep, high location near Gamlitz in southern Styria. Thanks to the southeast exposure, the vines enjoy full sun exposure while being simultaneously cooled by aromatic air currents, so that the grapes benefit from an extremely long vegetation phase.

The specialty of the Pinot Gris lies in the berry pods. In order to bring their subtle aromas into the wine, the grapes were squeezed overnight in a cool cellar to gently extract the ingredients. The next morning the grapes were gently pressed. The wine fermented in stainless steel and then matured in wooden barrels for 10 months.

Styrian fried chicken - there is no better partner than this Pinot Gris! It also goes great with pasta dishes with mushrooms or a risotto with many different herbs and roasted almonds.
