Cuvée Escorial
What makes the single-vineyard wines stand out is the particular choice of hand-picked grapes. The wine is made from grapes grown in individual vine-yards with a long tradition, and the Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate has been cultivating some of the individual sites for centuries. A highly selective and target-ed harvest ensures the ripest of grapes, while the process of ageing the wines – done partly in small wooden casks – guarantees that they can be stored for several years while maintaining their high quality.

Vintage Description:
Deep ruby red, with a hint of blackcurrant, cinnamon and fine vanilla, soft on the palate with fresh nuances of red berries, and unmistakable coffee notes in the lingering aftertaste. A wonderful Cuvée with great potential.wine:
