Vintage 2025

Our Pinot gris reserve 2025 was picked on 23 September 2025, with the grapes at 20 °KMW. Before that, the year had brought Austria a hot June. A cool, rainy July followed, then warm days in August.

Pinot gris is Grauburgunder in German; it sits in our reserve range and is made dry. There is one batch of 1.000 litres.

Village wine from Tattendorf

Pinot gris reserve 2025 is a village wine (Ortswein) of the Thermenregion DAC: its grapes come from vineyards in the municipality of Tattendorf, so it carries the village rather than a single vineyard in its name. The vineyards there lie on pure gravel that holds hardly any water and naturally has little humus. Its rows are green all year, sown with clover, phacelia and buckwheat instead of grass. We use no herbicides.

How we care for the soil

The 2025 harvest

The must for Pinot gris reserve 2025 measured 20 °KMW: the Klosterneuburg must scale shows how much sugar is in the grape juice, one degree being roughly one per cent.

What the figures say

Pinot gris reserve 2025 has 13.0 % vol. alcohol, 5.7 g/l residual sugar and 5.9 g/l acidity. It is made in a dry style, which under wine law means no more than 4 g/l residual sugar, or up to 9 g/l if the acidity is at most 2 g/l lower.

The sugar-free extract of Pinot gris reserve 2025 is 23.7 g/l: everything dissolved in the wine apart from water, alcohol and sugar, such as minerals, acids and tannins. In the laboratory, it showed 31 mg/l free and 94 mg/l total sulphur. Per 100 ml, it has 323 kJ or 77 kcal. It received the official inspection number N 20911/26 after being analysed in the laboratory and tasted by an official panel.

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.

There are 1.050 litres of it. The Pinot gris reserve 2022 was recognised with gold at the Lower Austria State Wine Awards, 99 points at the Organic Wine Award International and a place in the Thermenregion Top 100 2023.
