A rich and elegant Rotgipfler that beautifully balances ripe orchard fruit, subtle oak and the characteristic minerality of Gumpoldskirchen.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden-yellow in the glass. The nose opens with expressive aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, quince and white peach, complemented by notes of orange zest, acacia honey and a hint of fresh herbs. Gentle smoky nuances and subtle oak add depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, yet beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity and a distinct mineral backbone. The long finish reveals ripe orchard fruit, delicate spice and a touch of salinity. The wine is matured in large oak casks, contributing texture rather than overt wood flavours.

Cellaring Potential
Drink now for its vibrant fruit or cellar for 6–10 years, during which the wine will develop greater complexity, notes of honey, nuts and dried fruit while retaining its elegant structure.
