Location and soil


The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this wine come from the Weinviertel village of Platt. The soil is sandy
and gravelly (Grunder layers – deposits from the Tertiary sea).
Vineyard management
Our vineyards are Demeter-certified and are cultivated biodynamically according to the principles of
Rudolf Steiner.


Vinification


Selective harvest by hand in early September. After several hours of maceration, the grapes are
pressed and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is racked and aged on its fine
lees until bottling. It will be bottled unfined and with minimal sulfur in spring 2025.


Vintage 2023


After an extremely dry winter, the much-needed and substantial rainfall arrived in April and May. The
late bud break was a positive development, as it prevented damage from the dreaded late frosts. The
weather during the also late flowering of the vines was quite unsettled. The first heat wave of the year
began at the end of June, followed by a hot and very dry summer. Rainfall at the beginning of August
provided some relief. The entire growing season was repeatedly interrupted by hailstorms, but Platt
was fortunately spared. After the August rains, ripening progressed steadily. The harvest at our winery
began on September 11th and ended on October 19th in glorious autumn weather. In general, the
2023 vintage is producing dense, juicy wines with clear fruit aromas and a well-rounded acidity. The
autumn of 2023 not only brought good grapes but also a new addition to our family:
Charlotte Sophie Fidesser was born on September 28th, 2023. We are all the more excited for a
vintage with aging potential.


Wine description


Yellow-green. On the nose, restrained, with a spicy Sauvignon Blanc character, a touch of lovage and
blackcurrant; noticeable pepperiness with an animating structure, long finish with hints of ripe bell
pepper
