Grüner Veltliner Eiswein
What makes the single-vineyard wines stand out is the particular choice of hand-picked grapes. The wine is made from grapes grown in individual vineyards with a long tradition, and the Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate has been cultivating some of the individual sites for centuries. A highly selective and target-ed harvest ensures the ripest of grapes, while the process of ageing the wines – done partly in small wooden casks – guarantees that they can be stored for several years while maintaining their high quality.

Complete description
Vintage Description:
With its golden yellow colour and intense aroma, it is reminiscent of tropical fruits. Very juicy and smooth on the palate with a strong body. Its opulent sweetness frames the balanced acid play. A sweet wine speciality with great storage potential.wine:
