Vintage 2022
Ried Rotes Kreuz is the name of the site in Teesdorf where our 2022 Pinot gris reserve comes from. Shortly before the main harvest in 2022 Austria had one more round of rain, which gave ripening a real push. We picked on 8 October. In the glass it's pale gold with a green shimmer, then ripe pear and apple, a little blossom and minerality. It is finely built with a long finish and a hint of oak.
