The wine region of Thermenregion
Austrian gem south of Vienna along the Wienerwald: signature native Zierfandler-Rotgipfler duo (found nowhere else) as king whites — concentrated, aromatic and full-bodied with notes of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, flowers and a spicy touch, lively balance of acidity and richness. Silky signature Sankt Laurent in red (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, fine tannins) and Pinot Noir in the south on the Steinfeld gravels. DAC (2023), ~2,000 h sun/year, limestone-marl north, gravel south.
The wine region of Weinland
Vast German-speaking region in north-eastern Switzerland, the country's largest production area. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Elegant, delicate style, often barrel-aged. Also light, floral Müller-Thurgau (Riesling-Sylvaner), lively, lemony native Räuschling, ample Pinot Gris.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
