The \u201c\u00c4RZTBERG\u201d was first named as a wine-producing single-vineyard site in a deed dating back to 1382. The soil \u2013 as the original name in German suggests \u2013 is rich in ore.<\/p>\n

Due to the difficulties associated with the cultivation of this steep vineyard, viniculture on the Atzberg was abandoned in the 1950s after a good 700 years. The renowned Wachau expert wine pastor Hans Denk (\u2020) always attributed a quality to the site that is unique in the Wachau, which is why, starting in 2008, this outstanding site was recultivated with a great deal of work by hand and countless steps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

The Atzberg lies in the heart of the Wachau, one of the world\u2019s most beautiful cultural landscapes. The Singerriedel opposite and the Atzberg vineyard are likely to have formed one geological unit before the Mieslingbach stream separated the two.<\/p>\n

Iron-containing red stone with gneiss and slate structure combined with a very barren layer of earth \u2013 the extreme mineral content of the soil has been scientifically documented by numerous mineral finds.<\/p>\n

The Atzberg is an extremely steep site. Its southerly orientation, the optimal sun exposure, the cool air descending through the Mieslingtal valley at night and the direct proximity to the Danube all produce a very special microclimate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

A Gr\u00fcner Veltliner icon almost unrivalled in its energy and richness.<\/p>\n

The golden-yellow berries of the Obere Steilterrassen are carefully hand-selected in late autumn when there are only a few grapes left on the vines in the Wachau. You won\u2019t find a more concentrated Gr\u00fcner Veltliner.<\/p>\n

Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Nuances of ripe apricots on a bed of yellow pome fruit with a gentle whisper of orange zests. Juicy, extract-sweet texture, a hint of pear and honeydew melon, fine acidity structure, elegant and adherent, ready to drink now.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The \u201clittle brother\u201d of the Obere Steilterrassen is bursting with power and expressiveness.<\/p>\n

Harvested somewhat earlier, it has a slightly lower alcohol content and its vibrant acidity renders it both elegant and unbelievably harmonious despite its concentration.<\/p>\n

Medium yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine meadow herbs, hints of yellow stone fruit, tobacco spice, notes of fresh pear, inviting bouquet. Complex, full-bodied, ripe yellow apple, fine acidity structure, dark mineral tones, delicate blossom honey on the finish, good development potential.Falstaff Guide 2021<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
