Fresh grapes in a glass
Moscato Giallo
2023
After all, we’re supposed to have fruit and vegetables five times a day. Our bright, aromatic Golden Muscat made from sun-drenched grapes – at the right temperature – is pure joy!
Grape variety
Goldmuskateller (“Golden Muscat”)
Site and soil
Mareit Leiten, 350 m elevation, very steep, southfacing slope with extremely long exposure to the sun and warm gravelly soil with moraine deposits. Vogelleiten und Panholzer with clay-limestone gravel soil.
Vintage
2023 was a challenging year with climatic conditions that were anything but easy. Through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved great results. Our vines coped well with both the wet spring and the hot and dry summer, and the golden autumn helped us achieve perfect ripeness. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in perfect balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage.
The Golden Muscat grapes were left on the vines until the end of September for perfect maturity. The berries were a golden yellow, the aroma highly intense. At 55 hl per hectare, the yield was low.

Winemaking
Grapes were de-stemmed and left to macerate in the press for twelve hours to enrich the juice with aroma substances and body leached from the skins. Fermentation took place in oak and stainless steel tanks, partially with yeasts naturally occurring in the vineyard. The young wine was subsequently matured on the fine lees for five months to enable the aromas and flavour to evolve
Bottled
22,200 bottles were filled.
