Terroir
Natural factors
- Northern sites: calcareous brown soils with a loam overlay that increases toward the lake.
- Southern sites: siliceous soils derived from weathered Schiefer.
- Pannonisches Klima: dry, hot summers and dry, cold winters.
- The Neusiedlersee, a shallow steppe lake, acts as a regulator of humidity and warmth during autumn.
- Cool morning mist rising from the lake settles over the vines, creating ideal conditions for Botrytis.
Human factors
- A centuries-long tradition; the first peak of production came in the 17th century, contributing to the fame and prosperity of Rust. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Product characteristics
- Color ranges from golden to amber-yellow, owing to the elevated glycerol content resulting from Botrytis infection. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Botrytis concentrates acidity, sugar, extract, and aroma through the rose-like shriveling of the berries on the vine.
Terroir / wine link
- The elevated glycerol content produced by Botrytis gives the wine its characteristic gold-to-amber-yellow color and very high density. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
