100% Chardonnay , grown on the iron-rich Gneiss soils of Weststeiermark. The grapes receive a four-hour skin contact before being fermented with indigenous yeasts in 500-litre barrels, then aged in barrel for over a year.  No fining, no filtration, no added sulphur.
Gelb means yellow in German, and the name says something about the wine’s character: deeper, richer, and more textured than the Weiss, with a warm golden hue that hints at what is inside.
In the glass, the colour is a deep, luminous gold with an amber edge. The nose is generous and complex: ripe stone fruit, dried apricot, beeswax, and a faint nuttiness, with an earthy undertow that grounds everything. On the palate, the skin contact gives the wine a subtle grip and a satisfying weight, while the acidity keeps it alive and focused all the way through. The finish is long, warm, and mineral.
This is a wine that rewards patience: open it early and let it breathe, or lay it down and come back to it. At the table, it is a natural match for roast pork, aged hard cheeses, mushroom dishes, or anything with a bit of richness and depth.
