Zierfandler "Gumpoldskirchen" DAC Ortswein 2023

Zierfandler from the heart of Gumpoldskirchen — a variety grown here since Vienna was still the capital of the Habsburg Empire. The vines ripen on the gently sloping, limestone-rich southern slopes of the Eichkogel, where the fault line between the Alps and the Vienna Basin meets. 2023 marks the first true vintage of the new Thermenregion DAC era.

Aged in stainless steel, clean and direct: apricot, peach and candied notes open. Harmonious flow, a tightly woven finish, kumquat and grapefruit in a long, fruity tail. Aging potential.

Pairs well with fish and seafood, cream soups, Mediterranean vegetable dishes and aged cheese. Vegan pairing: saffron vegetable risotto.
