Weingut Diwald Grner Veltliner Sekt Brut NV

Pioneers of biodynamic winegrowing in Austria, with roots in the region of Wagram, the younger generation is now running the show. They focus on Grner Veltliner and Riesling, from classic to single vineyards and orange.

Hans and Paula Diwald grew up in the 1960s, both on a farm. In 1972, they took over the business and restructured it. Since 1976, they have become true pioneers by endeavouring something unthinkable: converting to biodynamic farming practices. Back then there was no official certification yet, only a handful of kindred spirits. Paula and Hans used to be on the receiving end of condescending smiles, but today they are considered among the pioneers of a whole movement.

Grape Varietals & Region: Produced from Grner Veltliner grapes grown in loess soils, of course, in cooler sites. Compared to other sparkling wines, the base wine for Diwald Sekt comes from fruit which is harvested relatively late to develop riper aromas

Taste Profile: A refreshing and at the same time full-bodied sparkling wine that boasts a lot of fruity charm and, thanks to its vinous quality, makes for a brilliant food partner.

Winemaking Process:After the grapes are whole-bunch pressed, the juice ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Then, in line with the traditional bottle fermentation method, the Sekt ripens for 18 months on the lees, with a dosage of around 5g of sugar per litre
