Description
WINEMAKER: Matthias Warnung
REGION: Kamptal, AU
VARIETY: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic
VINEYARDS: 35-year-old Riesling vines from the Warnung family estate in Etsdorf, Kamptal Valley. Planted on a mix of brown earth and loess soils, organically farmed under Lenz Moser’s Hochkultur vertical training system. The site benefits from the warm Pannonian climate tempered by cool northwestern winds from the Waldviertel.
VINTAGE: “The 2023 vintage in Kamptal, Austria, was marked by challenging weather conditions, including dry spells, damp periods, and severe storms. Despite these obstacles, the hard work of winemakers was rewarded with a glorious autumn, producing expressive, dense, and well-balanced white wines.” – Wine Austria
TECH NOTES: Hand-harvested Riesling, 2/3 were whole-bunch pressed over 1/3 destemmed fruit in stainless steel tanks for 2 weeks to preserve purity and delicate fruit character. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, followed by 24 months of maturation on fine lees in old oak. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, unfiltered, unfined, and receives a small addition of sulfur after malolactic.
TASTING NOTES: “Ripe, savoury, and aromatic with notes of florals, grapefruit, ripe pithy fruit, and a touch of mustardy spice. The mouthful is lean and mineral yet nicely grippy thanks to the skin contact. Good acidity leads to a saline and slightly smoky finish” - Forest Wines

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
