BIO wine grapes - Rotgipfler

The Rotgipfler is a cross between Traminer and Roter Veltliner. The reddish-bronze shoot tips of the vine are characteristic. The specialty of the variety is almost only found in the thermal region.

Importance, demands

Only in the thermal region are there suitable growing conditions due to the climate and the soil. Warm southern slopes with suitable soils on a calcareous subsoil are necessary for good shoot growth. In optimal and vigorous locations, the Rotgipfler brings high and regular yields.

Wine

With sufficient yield limitation, the wines are characterized by a high extract content, pleasant acidity and a fine bouquet. The wine matures slowly and is usually matured as a single variety, but also blended with the Zierfandler variety.
