Simple, authentic, unadulterated and pure – the dark berried, yet vivacious character of the “naked red” celebrates the lightness of being and reinterprets the sheer beauty of the emperor’s new clothes. In juicy red fruitiness, this infectiously frugal wine lasciviously disposes all drinking resistance. With its completely unfussy straightforwardness and stout-hearted honesty, it is best described in two words: seriously uncomplicated. The “naked red” is sourced from both sides of the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl). On the west side, vines are rooted in the limestone and schist of the Leithaberg (Leitha Mountains) slopes – on the east side of the lake vines in the gravelly Parndorfer Platte (Parndorfer Plain) and humus-rich Heideboden. Bottled with conscientious handcraft and great care throughout the entire life cycle. Organic cultivation of the vineyards. Handpicked mid-August to the beginning of September, spontaneous fermentation, two weeks maceration on the skins in wooden fermentation vat and steel tank, matured for over a year in wood cask.
