The Ried Bärnreiser is located on the eastern slope of the Danube gravel terrace of the Arbesthaler hill chain without direct forest boundaries. The name is derived from the Middle High German "Reisern", which indicates that on this barren, gravelly and hot location the natural vegetation consisted only of brushwood and brushwood. On the upper slope there is quartz gravel - fine gravel, which in places also covers the finer-grained Miocene deposits (Pannonian) of clay-silt and sand lying below. The soils are very calcareous and deep beneath the gravel layers, which gives the wines a special complexity.

AGEING: 20 months in French barrique barrels

An elegant accompaniment to dark game, steaks and all dark meats (e.g. lamb) and mature cheeses.
