Domaine Wachau, Roter Traminer Reserve Ried Setzberg 2017
Setzberg is a prime vineyard in the Wachau village of Spitz. It is situated right at the entry to the famous “Spitzer Graben“. This valley leads north to the Waldviertel - one of the coolest parts of Austria. The soil is extremely poor and mainly consists of gneiss with only a thin layer of top soil. Cool air streams from the Spitzer Graben result in considerable fluctuations between day and night temperature and poor soil, yield wines with unique character and elegance. (Parker et al.)
