Vintage 2021
Nepomuk 2021 was our off-dry blend of St. Laurent and Zweigelt from the Ried Steinjoch in Tattendorf. We brought the grapes in on 5 October 2021. Even before the harvest the word for all of Austria was healthy grapes and a good balance between sugar and acidity.

It was harmonious and easy to enjoy. The 2.500 litres have since been drunk, and it is no longer available from the estate. The Nepomuk cuvée selection 2021 was recognised with gold at the Lower Austria State Wine Awards.
