Viticulture

Frühroter Veltliner is rare. There are only a few hectares remaining in Austria. The grapes are hand-picked, macerated for a short amount of time.

Winemaking

The wine is allowed to ferment spontaneously in stainless steel tanks before maturing on the lees.The spontaneous fermentation of the wine means that DIWALD's close relation with nature allows them to interfere as little as possible in the cellar.

Tasting Note

A floral and fruit-driven wine in cooler years, whereas warmer years offer more spice. The Frühroter Veltliner is always a rounder, softer wine with gentle acidity and low alcohol.
