“Fass 43” means “Barrel 43”.The grape variety Grner Veltliner are coming from the sites Kellerberg, Wunderburg and Supperin.

Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler from the Wachau and Erich Krutzler from the Burgenland founded their own wine estate in the Wachau in 2006. Both husband and wife originated from famous wine-making families. Together, they craft wines of great soul and individuality, based on a respect form nature and sustainable viticultural practice.

All this is a continuation of the path that Erich Krutzler set out on in the 1990s when he helped his family estate produce outstanding and characterful red wines in the Sdburgenland. This is why a Burgenland Blaufrnkisch finds its place in the range alongside Riesling and Grner Veltliner.

The Pichler-Krutzler wines are pure, unadulterated and made without compromise to quality. Each wine is the reflection of its own terroir, harvested, raised and bottled without blending. Since there is no chaptalization, no juice concentration, no fining or additives of any sort, all the wines express their origins plain and clear. Just high-grade handcraft without any fancy trends.

Region
Wachau, Austria

Country of Origin:
Austria

Type:
White/Blanc (Still)

Grape Variety:
Grner Veltliner

Vinification and Ageing:
Superin and Wunderberg that fermented 6 months and matured in new 600 litre cask without sulfur. Malolactic fermentation took place. No fining or filtration.

Tasting Notes:
Pale gold in the glass, this wine smells of oak and flowers and honey. In the mouth, flavours of sweet oak, vanilla, pears, and strong honeysuckle mix with a rich silky texture. Because of the fact that this wine went through full malolactic fermentation the acidity is softer, and doesn’t have the edge. It also has cellaring potential.
