FALSTAFF MAGAZINE 91 POINTS The single vineyard Silberbichl was first documented as vineyard site in 1562. The name stems
from the presence of mica (silver) in the deeper soil layers and the location on a hill (Bichl). The
Silberbichl is a broad terraced vineyard site seated above the Danube River, comprised of old
Danube gravel and weathered rock, covered with a layer of loess. Due to its south-eastern
exposition it is the perfect site for Riesling.
Winemaking Only fully ripened Riesling grapes were harvested, then rushed to the cellar and gently processed. Special attention was given to the temperature-controlled fermentation. The cooler fermentation preserves the characteristic and unique flavors and aromas of this special wine. After the fermentation the wine was separated and allowed to develop its final character before being bottled.
Wine Description
Strong green yellow in the glass, juicy stone fruit aromas in the nose, compact and rustic on the palate, powerful and lasting; a wine with much esprit and length, a very typical representative of the Kremstal denomination.
alcohol: 13,0 %vol
residual sugar: 4.9 g/l (dry)
acidity: 6.9
The family run Muller winery is located in the southern part of the Kremstal wine region in the picturesque village of Krustetten. It is managed by the brothers Leopold and Stefan Müller. The responsibilities are clearly structured: Stefan is the vineyard manager and Leopold is winemaker and sales manager. Our philosophy is to work in harmony with nature in a sustainable and respectful manner. The diverse soil and micro climatic conditions on the hills surrounding the Göttweig Abbey, in the southern Kremstal wine region, require us to care for every vineyard individually and to fully understand each site in relation to soil, exposure and grape variety. Our knowledge that has accumulated over several generations allows us to produce superior grape quality with distinct and exciting character.
