Since 1848, the knowledge of wine has been passed on from generation to generation. Without a doubt, the most famous descendant of this family is the renowned viticulture pioneer Dr. Lenz Moser, who in the 1950s developed the high training system of the vine - the so-called Lenz Moser system. Through this, he made the work in the vineyards easier, not only in Austria, but also in many other wine-growing countries. Lenz s sons Sepp and Laurenz took over the running of the business in the second half of the 20th century. Today, the enterprise is run by Sepp s son, Nikolaus, who sticks to the structure established by his father and cultivates vineyards in Lower Austria as well as in Burgenland. In 1991, Nikolaus began assisting his father in the enterprise, and in 2000 assumed complete responsibility. Region: Kremstal, Austria. olour: Vivid yellow. Bouquet: The nose displays spice and exotic fruits. Palate: The palate is mild with fruit characters, minerality and oak.
