A PINOT NOIR THAT BREATHES THE AUSTRIAN KAMPTAL
A fine intuition for wine and Kamptal’s perfect conditions for vit- iculture characterise the wines of vintner Christoph Edelbauer. The vineyards focus lies on Pinot Noirs, every drop captures the region's soils and climate.
Between loess, limestone, and loam, where Kamptal unfolds its gentle hills, Christoph Edelbauer’s winery claims a perfect spot. Visitors will quickly understand: these wines are more than product – they are an expression of the landscape. The rhythm of nature dictates the work; every grape is picked by hand, and every site is tended with care.
Christoph Edelbauer winery relies on organic-biological cultivation and traditional craftsmanship. This results in wines that embody both clari- ty and authenticity. This is particularly evident in the Pinot Noir. The sen- sitive and demanding grape variety finds ideal conditions in Kamptal: cool nights, sunny days, and calcareous soils.
The vineyard’s 12 hectares are located across three different sites – Ried Spiegel, Ried Käferthal, and Ried Steinhaus – and thus offer varying conditions for independent and complex Pinot Noirs. Each site imparts its own character and typicity to the grapes, resulting in wines that are distinctive and unmistakable.
The result? A Pinot Noir of remarkable elegance and depth — a wine that reflects its origin and tells a pure, honest story of nature.
