Rosé Zweigelt & Pinot Noir 2019

Info about the wine

The interplay of climate and soil in the Danube valleys of Kamp, Krems and Traisen forms the basis for the character of the wines. Foothills of the Pannonian climate, named after the Roman province in eastern Austria and western Hungary, bring hot dry days to the area. Cool air currents from the higher altitude Waldviertel region mix and "season" the hot air, which can reach 38 degrees. The soils are also unique and ideal for winegrowing. On the one hand, there is Gföhler Gneiss, the primary rock from which the hills of the Kamptal were formed. On top of this lies brown earth, sometimes with a layer of limestone in between. On the other hand, there is loess, fly ash from the ice age, which has compacted into fertile soil. And finally, the clay soils that lie directly on the banks of the rivers.
