2023 Weingut Abraham Upupa Weiss

A racy, mineral-laden white wine grown on glacial runoff soils rich in quartz and volcanic porphyry. Part of the Upupa collection, this wine is based on a 'gemischter Satz' – a traditional field blend of different grape varieties planted together, originally introduced over 50 years ago and now rediscovered and reinterpreted. The estate has a deep family history and passion for realizing the full potential of this unique terroir-driven expression from the region.
