Pinot Noir 2022

The Pinot Noir comes from vineyards on the east and west sides of Lake Neusiedl. The soils are characterised by limestone near the cooler forest area on the Leithagebirge and gravelly-sandy-loamy sedimentary soils on the south-eastern edge of the Parndorfer Platte. The Pinot Noir was harvested in August, fermented spontaneously and left on the skins for a week before being pressed on the basket press and left on the fine lees in wooden fermentation racks for seven months.
