About the winemaker
One of Austria's most successful winegrowers in recent years is without a doubt Rudolf Rabl. A winegrower who has managed to perfectly combine tradition and progress. Rudolf has several harvest moments. 70% of the harvest is first picked and vinified per vineyard. The remaining part is later picked and vinified under the name Vinum Optimum. Rudolf Rabl is an avid supporter of spontaneous fermentation and has been able to refine and implement this more and more in his wines in recent years. Very long contact with the peel is also his way of working. Rudolf Rabl's wines in our range give a very good idea of the possibilities that his wines offer the gastronomy.

Details
| Vineyard | Vinum Optimum for Rudolf Rabl equals late harvest. He chooses to ripen the best vines and grapes a little longer and pick them some 4 to 6 weeks later. So basically a kind of spätlese of different vineyards. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | Rudolf Rabl works with spontaneous fermentation in his cellar. Thus, no yeasts are added or other additives to trigger the fermentation. Vinified entirely on stainless steel and thus all the fresh fruit aromas are well preserved. |
| Vintage | 2023 |
| Oak aging | No |
| Ageing potential | up to 5 years after harvest |
| Alcohol percentage | 12.5% |
| Closure | Screw cap |
