From a blend of nine different grapes, all picked together in the traditional Gemischter Satz style, this is pure Vienna.

Patches of limestone soil on the Nussberg hill allow Riesling to be fruity—with white peaches and apricots—and also mineral. There is a touch of spice as well as a long-lasting citric aftertaste.
