The “Massale Selection” method involves using vine wood from old, high-quality vineyards (sourced from several top European sites), which is grafted anew and then replanted in dense spacing on carefully selected plots. After harvest and spontaneous fermentation, only the finest blend is chosen for the Selektion line. We’ve spent a long time exploring how to vinify this kind of wine.
We were able to import high-quality, selected vines from the finest Burgundy regions in France and Germany, planting 6,000 vines per hectare in prime locations in Martinsdorf and Bad Pirawarth. The grapes are hand-picked, vinified, and spontaneously fermented; the wine is then aged for one year on the full lees in new and used tonneaux (500-liter oak barrels).
The result speaks for itself – and for the palate: the Weißer Burgunder Selektion shows great expression, depth with length, and excellent aging potential. “This wine embodies remarkable clarity and strength – it has the makings of a true star.”
These sites were planted with massale selections from old vineyards in the finest Burgundy and Sauvignon Blanc regions. Dense planting on low-vigor rootstocks yields grapes of the highest quality. Unlike cultivated clones, massale selections reflect a sensory diversity and richness that truly expresses the character of each grape variety.
and so do good news.
