From the Archive
The grapes of this wine are growing in the flat area surrounding the town of Dürnstein alongside the river Danube on well drained sandy sediments and gravel. These soils create an aromatical kind of wine characterized by timeless elegance. Early picking causes a moderate alcohol level and a well-integrated bracing acidity. The wine is totally dry, animating and is usually drunk young.
