Origin Dechant – The eastern slope immediately below the Käferberg, at 250 to 300 meters above sea level, is one of the few “red wine islands” in the Kamptal. The medium-heavy loess soil is easily warmed and well aerated, with heavy red-colored clay underneath, providing good growing conditions for the complex Burgundy variety. The vines, facing southeast, dry quickly in the morning, so that the sensitive Pinot Noir grapes can always be harvested healthy and ripe.

Wine description
Silky ruby-red hue with a bright rim. The nose is complex with scents of cherry, blood orange, beetroot and other root vegetables, Ashanti and forest soil. The palate, lean and fruit-driven, reveals discreet tannins, graceful extract sweetness and lively acidity with notes of Amarena and sour cherry. The finish, with a fine tartness, first shows a silky texture and then yields a taut mineral grip. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Transparent ruby red hue. A discreet bouquet yielding dried plum, cranberry, Amarena cherry, Malaga ice cream, root vegetables and olive paste. Beautifully lightfooted - prances across the pal-ate. Fruit driven with lively acidity and flavours of blood orange, sour cherry and graphite. Discreet tannins, cool appearance, lovely varietal typicity with true Burgundian character. Opens with air to a fuller wine. A long refreshing finish. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Wine description
Transparent ruby-garnet hue. Floral scents of violets and lilacs along with notes of dried prune, cherry and a hint of leather; fruit aromas dominate as the wine opens. The palate is taut and reflects an elegant body, a chalky texture and a firm tannic grip. Salty, vibrant and wonderfully dry with discreet fruity flavours - cherry, cranberry and blood orange - and a long, refreshing finish. Its cool character, varietal typicity and sophistication are even more evident with air.(tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
