Winemaker’s note: “The white grapes love the perfect conditions of our “Pannonian” climate with the deep and nutritious soils in combination with gravel on the top. As a result, they develop their very intensive and exotic aromatic with some nice acidity on the palate, due to the cooler influences of the River Danube during the nights.”

 

The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented spontaneously in contact with the skins for 18–21 days, in stainless steel fermenters. Once pressed, the wine spends 4 months in old vats, amphoras and stainless steel on full lees. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, the 2021 and 2022 vintages didn’t receive any sulfur addition.

Christina Netzl, the congenial winemaker behind Christina wines, speaks about her personal journey in such a compelling, passionate and sweet way that we’ll just let her do the talking here:

“I grew up with my sister on the mixed family-run farm owned by my parents and grandparents, cultivating different grains, corn, sugar beets, breeding pigs and growing some vines. Lending a hand almost everywhere on the farm, I fell in love with wine production (and snacking on food from our gardens and the neighborhood) at a very early age. I loved being in the vineyards, helping in the cellar, and telling our customers the stories behind the wines. My future occupation was crystal clear to me: I am becoming a vintner!”.
