The 2014 vintage was the first 600 wines to be produced. The hand-picked Chardonnay grapes come exclusively from old vines. After fermentation in the bottle, the sparkling wine matures on the yeast for 55 months. In the glass: stable and fine perlage. Fruity nuances of white peach and yellow tropical fruit, some quince, spiced bread and brioche. Creamy yet firm texture, mineral and salty finish.600 BLANC DE BLANCS: The uncompromising one.<br /><br />'When we start a sparkling wine project, we only do so with the aim of being among the absolute top,' says President Andreas Kofler. The goal was achieved, and the first 600 was pressed in 2014.<br /><br />
