VINEYARD SITE: Seefeld. sandy soil.
Seefeld is situated in the west of Neusiedl am See, at the last bits of solid land before the marshes of the lake start. The whole plot is flat, dry and very windy. Since Seefeld is hot and straight in the haze of lake Neusiedl, the grapes grow very intense aromas.

VINIFICATION
during harvest, all grapes are processed in the backyard. Grüner Veltliner and Weissburgunder ferment and mature separately in barriques. without any additives, without fining, without filtration and without temperature control. Blended together shortly before bottling. We bottle each release of AEON WHITE shortly before the full moon arises, to capture the moon’s energy.
