Production Methods

Natural

Wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes with minimal intervention avoiding the use of chemicals, additives and technology.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.


Staff Pick Notes

Perfect Day is inspired by Lou Reed's song of the same name, in which the simple pleasures of life are summed up in a perfect day. Composed of Muskat Ottonel, Sauvignon Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Traminer, Sämling. All grapes were harvested and vinified separately, then matured for more than half a year in used barriques on the full lees. The varieties are brought together only shortly before bottling with no filtering or addition of sulphur. 'Perfect Day' is refreshing but complex with charming hints peaches and orange blossom. A fine and balanced acidity help this wine to linger on the pallet like sunset on the water. Oh, it's such a perfect day. I'm glad I spent it with you. You just keep me hanging on.

The wines are consistent and eminently drinkable at the low end, and, on the premium side of things, full-bodied, long-lived, world-class whites.

Austria

Austrian wine is finally getting the attention it deserves. Ever since the late 1980s, Austrian winemaking has taken a much more rigorous approach to quality control, and returned to its roots in organic viticulture.Deservedly famous for its white wines (Grüner Veltliners especially), Austria makes a number of delicious red wines as well.The most widely grown red grape in Austria is Zweigelt (a.k.a. Blauer Zweigelt), which yields full-bodied wines, deep in color and featuring bold flavors of...
