XXI2023

The code of origin. „XXI“ is a liquid homage to a historic place. Its cryptic name is far more than a name: it is the subtle symbol that leads directly to the historic sites of the Bisamberg. Where Vienna's 21st district lies today, vines have been grown for thousands of years. As a quiet tribute to this historic origin, the number twenty-one was chosen in Roman numerals.

This wine draws its strength from the deepest layers of the past. The soils up here are exceptionally rich in clay minerals, iron and magnesium. It is this primeval mineral signature that gives the vines an unmistakable foundation. It brings monumental structure and a classic, deeply noble character into the glass.

In this historic setting, two of the noblest grape varieties in the world come together: 70 % velvety, profound Merlot merges with 30 % structuring, cool Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wine its proud backbone.

Such a monument cannot be rushed. The cuvée matures in careful stillness in wooden barrels for at least 30 months. To preserve the pure, unvarnished soul of this soil and the grapes completely, the wine is bottled without any fining and without sterile filtration. The result is a highly elegant, deeply moving wine full of character and grandeur.
