The vineyards of Winkler-Hermaden stretch across the Southern Styria region of Austria and benefit from the unique geological properties of the soil. Predominantly, the so-called Opok soils dominate the landscape. These sedimentary rocks, mainly composed of lime and clay, are known for their excellent water retention and drainage capabilities. This creates optimal conditions for viticulture by allowing excess water to drain away while providing the vines with essential nutrients. The mineral-rich Opok soils significantly shape the character of Winkler-Hermaden's wines. They impart a distinct minerality and fine structure to the wines, capturing the unique terroir expression of the Southern Styria region. The combination of lime and clay often gives the wines an elegant freshness and supports the development of complex aromas.
The Gewürztraminer Klöch DAC BIO 2020 from Winkler-Hermaden is an impressive bio-certified creation. The grapes thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Klöch region in Southern Styria, on sustainable Opok soils. This wine entices with intense aromas of exotic fruits, complemented by floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance between the Gewürztraminer's characteristic spiciness, a subtle sweetness, and refreshing acidity. The Gewürztraminer Klöch DAC BIO 2020 is an outstanding example of the quality and individuality of Winkler-Hermaden's wines.
