The ‘Tradition’ wines are an ode to the winemaking style being employed at Gobelsburg in the early 19th century – specifically the years between 1800 and 1850. This period is characterized by the era of baroque, where intense aromatics in vinification was being practiced.

The grapes are pressed with a basket press for low sediment content, without further sedimentation the wines are fermented without temperature control in 25 hl Manhartsberg oak casks (double foudre). After the fermentation the wines are racked every 3 to 4 months to let the wine ‘breathe’ on one side, but on the other side to go off the lees. This process lasts for about two years until the wine is ready to be bottled.

"The MV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 3 Years Edition 852 is an unusual blend of three vintages, mostly 2020, with smaller proportions of 2018 and 2017. It comprises 75% Grüner Veltliner and 15% Riesling. It was made in a large barrel and aged on fine lees. Hayflowers, dried citrus and slight waxiness on the nose lead onto a soft palate, pervaded by citrus freshness on a rounded, smooth, gentle body. The citrus also accentuates some pepper, producing a surprisingly fresh and vivid finish. (Bone-dry)"
