2025 Birgit Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Wechselberg

Wine yield: 40 hl per hectare

Harvest date: September 26 at 19.2° KMW.

Geographical location & Ried description: The imposing Ried Wechselberg single vineyard rises on the eastern side of the Strassertal and faces south. Its soils are weathered crystalline bedrock of the Bohemian Massif and crystalline schist. Thanks to its elevation, the nights bring a cooling of the hot summer air, ensuring excellent development of aromatic compounds in the grapes.

Vinification: Five hours of maceration, cool fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on the full lees until bottling in March.

Wine analysis: 12.5% vol. alcohol, 5.5 ‰ acidity, 2.1 g/l residual sugar Tasting notes: Delicately scented classic with elegant spice, minty-peppery coolness and ripe stone fruit; juicy on the palate, threaded with fine minerality, perfectly balanced, mouth-filling, with a lovely punch on the finish. Pairs wonderfully with spicy fish dishes.
