The grapes for the Perspektive wines by Koppitsch are grown on the Neuberg - a very rocky limestone hill. The result is wines that are very precise and pure with depth of character and packed full of minerality. Lime, white peaches, depth and complexity.
Nested on the shallow slops of Burgenland next to the beautiful Neusiedl lake are the vineyards of Maria and Alex Koppitsch. Since 2011 they have been preserving the natural wine making traditions that have been in their family for over 500 years now. Taking on the holistic approach – they make sure, that all the work at the vineyard is done with respect and immense amount of care. At the core of their ethics are biodynamic principles and persistent manual labour. Low intervention winemaking is the top priority when it comes to the cellar. Fermentation always starts naturally, no temperature control is used. All of the wines are matured without sulphur and bottled without fining or filtration – as it was intended by nature.
