Personality: Super out there! It's like an electric burst of citrus, grapefruit peel and salt, combined with a tropical paradise of exotic fruit that's so fragrant it's almost like honey; maybe a dash of peach, dried herbs and a sprinkle of wet stone. Enough to keep you delightfully lost for hours.

While their journey was filled with struggles, the couple’s perseverance, passion, and commitment to low-intervention winemaking have made Koppitsch a celebrated name in natural wine. Alex & Maria on this wine: “Perspektive derives from the Latin „perspicere“, meaning: „to look through“. When it comes to natural wine, the closer you look, the more flavors and aromas you get. AND, to us, natural wine puts wine as you knew it into a whole new perspective. We wanted to capture this contemplative nature of this wine on its label as well: the night suggests elegance, mystery, depth and even something romantic. It creates a certain emotion, which is essential to us when drinking the Perspektive Wines. it calms you down, you focus and relax, yet at the same time, you get excited and curious: the perfect mindset for indulging in these wines that we took a great deal to make!” Neuberg is the vineyard which grows the grapes in this bottle. One of the best and oldest vineyard sites in the Neusiedl area, with hundreds of years of viticultural history. Rocky limestone hill in the northwest of Neusiedl, part of the Leithaberg Mountains with some schist as well as heavier rich loam parts. The Chardonnay grows on 2 plots, planted 1965 & 2017, the Pinot Blanc comes from a plot planted in 2005. Total size 0.81 hectare. After picking, ¾ of the grapes were directly pressed and the juice went straight into old Barriques (225L). ¼ fermented on skins for 8 days. Natural fermentation, no temperature control at any stage of winemaking. The wines matured on gross lees for 10 months with an occasional battonage. The barrels were blended together and bottled without any additives.
