Interesting Facts
Energetic, refreshing white wine Johannes Trapl, Carnuntum Weiss combines 3 grape varieties - Grüner Veltliner, Weissburgunder and Welschrisling. Their vines grow on calcareous-sandy soils around Stixneusiedl and are about 25 years old. Grapes are collected in a degree of optimal maturity, separated from the crests and pressed. After 48 hours of maceration, it is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. A small part of the wine passes this stage in oak barrels. Then the wine ripens for 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
