About the vineyard:
The wines of Ried Renner present themselves in a radiant yellow-gold color and open with a bright, intense and elegant, remarkably refined and distinctive bouquet and a precise balance of a rich and complex (also texturally) mouthfeel. Juicy fruit , spicy notes and a refreshing vitality are finely knit together and harbour a long, intense and persistent finish that reveals fine tannins and characteristic salinity. It is a natural companion to traditional austrian cuisine, such as pork or veal roasts and deep fried fare from stables or gardens.
