More about this product
Wеingut Leth
Franz and Barbara Leth founded Weingut Leth in the early 1960s, in the village of Fels am Wagram. The vineyards are located in the Wagram Valley along the Danube, facing south and on the typical soil type for the region - loess. Half of the total of 42 hectares are planted with Gruner Veltliner - a local variety that originates and is mainly grown in the area. The crop is harvested by hand and a lot of effort is put into the proper pruning and arrangement of the vines. Metal containers with temperature control for fermentation are used. Red wine is aged in French barrels for between 18 and 24 months. Weingut Leth has a rich wine list - from the iconic whites of the Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Riesling and red from Zweigelt and Pinot Noir to a sparkling and sweet wine made with the noble mold botrytis. .

Niederösterreich
Lower Austria is the largest Austrian wine-growing region for quality wine. Under its name, an abundance of wine cultures is gathered, ranging from vine styles of local varieties to distinctive interpretations of international types. The eight specific wine-growing regions located in the area - with sonorous names like Wachau in the west and Carnuntum in the east - can be roughly divided into three climatic zones: Weinviertel in the north, the Danube River with its side valleys (Traisen, Kamp, and Krems) to the west of Vienna, and Pannonian Lower Austria in the southeast. The Quaternary deposits, especially fine-grained loess and coarse-grained terraced gravels, which are so favorable for viticulture, are widespread in all major units. The forest provides the main material for the deep soil in about half of the vineyards, limestone-dolomite in various proportions. Neogene deposits in the Molasse basin and the Vienna basin support about one-third of the vineyards. In addition to locally formed marls and sandstones, conglomerates and limestone, loose rock is dominant here. The compositions range from clayey silt on sand to gravel and pebbles in all possible mixtures and can also vary significantly in terms of carbonate content. Just over 6% of the vineyards grow in soils lying on the crystalline rock of the Bohemian massif. Acidic gneiss, granite, and granodiorite prevail. Especially in the sequence of often schistose paragneisses, one encounters a frequent alternation between amphibolite beds and less common marble layers.

Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most famous white grape varieties, successfully found its way out of the home country France into a second one - New Zealand. The rapid development of the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most dramatic events in the world of wine. The intense and readily accessible flavour of a classic Marlborough is the main reason behind this success - fruity, intense, almost magical.The key selling point of Sauvignon Blanc is its straightforwardness – the flavours are rarely hidden away in the background, which makes Sauvignon Blanc an ideal wine with which to begin a journey in the world of wine. Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas range from grass, nettles and asparagus to green apples and to more esoteric notes such as cats' pee, boxwood and gunflint.
