The vineyards of Winkler-Hermaden stretch across the southern Styrian region of Austria and benefit from the unique geological properties of the soil. Predominantly, the landscape is characterized by Opok soils. These sedimentary rocks, primarily composed of limestone and clay, are renowned for their excellent water retention and drainage capabilities. This creates optimal conditions for viticulture, 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, imparting a distinctive minerality and fine structure that capture the unique terroir of the southern Styrian region. The combination of limestone and clay often gives the wines an elegant freshness and supports the development of complex aromas.
Delicate herbal spice, a hint of fresh biscuit with a backdrop of white fruit, and a subtle touch of mandarin zest. Crisp and fresh with a lively flow and a fruit-driven, precise finish.
