Production of the Ried Sätzen Grüner Veltliner Premium - Weingut Schwarzböck

Ried Sätzen is one of the finest vineyard sites of Weingut Schwarzböck in Hagenbrunn in the Weinviertel. The vines thrive here on calcareous soils, partly characterized by loess, with good water-retention capacity. The Pannonian-influenced climate brings warm days, while cool nights ensure slow, even ripening. This combination gives the wine its expressive fruit and precise structure.

The grapes are harvested selectively and with great care to obtain only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated berries. The harvest is timed to achieve the ideal balance between sugar ripeness and vibrant acidity. Gentle handling of the grapes is central to the process, ensuring that the delicate aromas of herbs, yellow blossoms and stone fruit reach the must unaltered.

• Origin: Weinviertel, Lower Austria
• Soils: loess, limestone, fine clay components
• Climate: continental character with Pannonian influence
• Quality classification: Q.b.A. – quality wine from a designated wine-growing region

In the cellar, Weingut Schwarzböck focuses on balanced maturation. The must is drawn off gently, while controlled fermentation preserves the wine’s varietal freshness. Maturation takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks to retain the fruit, clarity and precision of the acidity. Extended aging on the fine lees gives the wine additional creaminess and its characteristic smooth texture.

The winemaker’s style is aimed at elegance and fidelity to origin. Every step in the vineyard and cellar focuses on the site-specific character of Ried Sätzen. As a result, the wine displays no excessive opulence, but rather a straightforward, focused style with depth, tension and excellent drinkability.
