Grüner Veltliner “Aristos”
Only the best fruit from the best vineyards is selected to produce the “Aristos” label range. The focus on quality is extreme and the wines are produced in limited quantities.

The severe selection of grapes and the careful vinification process and aging in Acacia wood give this wine its special character.
