You will hardly find Rotgipfler anywhere other than the Thermenregion. Our vineyard for it lies in Ried am Tiefenweg in Leobersdorf. We took the grapes off the vines on 22 September 2025, at 19 °KMW.

The Thermenregion brought in 44 % more wine in 2025 than in 2024. All told, that came to 65.453 hectolitres. It is made dry, and the batch runs to 2.000 litres.

How we care for the soil

The 2025 harvest

The must for Rotgipfler selection 2025 measured 19 °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

Rotgipfler selection 2025 has 11.8 % vol. alcohol, 7.6 g/l residual sugar and 6.9 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 Rotgipfler selection 2025 is 23.9 g/l: everything dissolved in the wine apart from water, alcohol and sugar, such as minerals, acids and tannins. In the laboratory, it showed 34 mg/l free and 105 mg/l total sulphur. Per 100 ml, it has 298 kJ or 71 kcal. It received the official inspection number N 20910/26 after being analysed in the laboratory and tasted by an official panel.
