Based in Hollenburg a sub-region of Kremstal, gifted by a Champagne-like terroir rich of sedimented limestone, Christoph's wines have rapidly gained international interest amongst the natural wine movement. Demeter certified vineyards employing a mix of innovation and traditional methods to deliver pure, minimal intervention Gruner Veltliner and Riesling as well as naturally fermented sparkling (Pet-Nat) with ageing potential and finesse. A Riesling, pure and intense. Lean, straightforward, racy acidity. Initially, the wine is austere on the palate but gradually evolves into an tangy citrus aroma, with fresh, vibrant fruit.
