GRASSNITZBERG

Morillon

Classical and fresh, mineral and smoky. With nuances of ripe apples, grapefruit, and dried herbs. On the palate, citrussy refreshment meets a disarmingly creamy body. With spicy- and herbal notes to linger on the tongue.

2019

Single-vineyard Grassnitzberg was the first vineyard owned by family Tement and was planted in the early 50s. The old vines of the south south-east facing slopes grow on massive coralline limestone soil and are dominated by cool nights.

This Morillon (Chardonnay) impresses with deep minerality and structure.

May be drunk young, but we recommend 3-5 years bottle ageing. Long ageing potential.

Ried Grassnitzberg Riff

Located in a closed mountain basin on 300 - 420 m above sea level with a South - Southeastern exposition and characterized by sandy-loamy coralline limestone soil. Again an offspring of the Paratethys ocean. Unique for especially cold nights, which lead to elegant wines with an herbalmineral note with a tangy saltiness.

Wine is not static.
It evolves, matures and changes over time.

Our Standards

More than 15 years ago we started taking the first steps towards organic farming. We are now in the phase to convert to biodynamics. A logical step for us and a beginning without end. Every year we learn something new, observe nature and get closer to it bit by bit. We see our business as a form of modern circular economy in which wine is part of an overall concept. Partnerships with horse and cattle farmers have just as much space here as the use of the company’s own forest for energy production. Wine as a way of life.
