Grauburgunder Reserve of the Ried Schlossberg

The Schlossberg is historically also known as "Vogtei", "Winkelberg" or "Hausberg". This vineyard is located near the village of Mitterstockstall at 240m above sea level, in the middle of the Wagram DAC. This Ried (vineyard) has a slightly sloping south-west slope and a thick layer of fertile loess soil with lime. The local microclimate is warm to hot. In addition to this Grauburgunder Reserve, Ecker also grows Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Zweigelt and St. Laurent here.

Everything from Ecker is delicious

In addition to the Grauburgunder Reserve, we have many more wines from Ecker: Roter and Grüner Veltliner, Gemischter Satz, Weissburgunder (Pinot blanc) and Riesling . Each of them is more than worth trying! It is not without reason that the well-known Falstaff wine guide gives Ecker 4 out of 5 stars. This makes this winery one of the top in Austria . Below is the tasting note from the well-known wine critic Peter Moser from Falstaff:

Tasting 10.07.2023:
"Leuchtendes helles Gelbgrün. Gelbe Tropenfrucht, zart nach Maracuja, etwas Ananas, a Hauch von Orangenschappen und Quitte [quince]. Saftig, extraktsüß, balanciert und engmaschig, white Steinobst, mineralischer Nachhall, good Speisenbegleiter, sicheres Reifepotenzial."
