Delivery Information

The grapes have been handpicked at the beginning of September. After destemming and maceration on the skins for 18 hours, the grapes were pressed, and the juice fermented with the natural yeast partly in stainless steel tanks, concrete eggs and in used French oak barrels. It was aged for 6 months on the lees.

In 2006, Markus took over the family winery in the Leithaberg in Burgenland.

The regional limestone Leithakalk soil produces high acid, mineral wines. The lack of nutrients in the soil force the vines to bury deeper into the ground, giving the wines their signature minerality.

Markus’ winemaking is very natural and solely focuses on grape varieties that best express this unique terroir – Blaufrankisch and Chardonnay, producing authentic, honest, structured and long living wines.
