Located in the prestigious Kamptal-Donau (Danube) wine region of Austria, Rabl winery enjoys a wine growing tradition which goes back to 1828 and which is now under the careful eye of Rudolf Rabl Jr. The estate comprises 50 hectares around the hills of Langenlois. The vines are strictly pruned and yields are kept low to obtain good extract in the grapes which are harvested by hand. Temperature controlled fermentation and maturation takes place in stainless steel or in wooden barrels in a cellar that is located 7 meters underground.

Kamptal Donau is the best area for the production of fine Gruner Veltiner wines, the signature white grape for Austria.

Grape: 100% Riesling

Vinification: The wine was fermented in temerpature controlled stainless steel tanks followed by 7 months ageing in tank. The wine has been bottled with screwcap to retain the freshness and primary fruit flavours.

Tasting note: Classic Riesling floral notes with hints of limes and spice. This is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine with a concentrated, well sustained flavour and lingering finish.
