ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Frank Riesling Herrnbaumgarten 2022 is a white wine from the Weinviertel DAC appellation in Lower Austria. Produced by Weingut Frank, a family estate with a ten-generation history, the wine is made from 100% Riesling grapes. The vineyards are situated in Herrnbaumgarten, characterized by soils of schlier (marly clay) and loess, originating from ancient seabeds. The 2022 vintage was notably dry, leading to reduced yields but resulting in wines with good structure and acidity due to cool autumn nights. The estate emphasizes traditional winemaking methods and a philosophy of expressing the land's character.
