Very nice wine. Organic (demeter certified). Try the aged riesling smaragd. can't say anything about the food as we have only been there for a quick wine tasting.

A small but outstanding Austrian winery has produced the first Riesling ever to attain a perfect 100 score from Robert Parker. Unfortunately, that vintage has sold out, but many wines are on sale, ranging from excellent to superlative. The winery is run by a charming lady, Christine Saahs, who will be happy to show you the old cellar (from Roman times) and the new cellar (the mid-500s). The thousand-year-old wine press is a marvel to behold. Mrs. Saahs also has written an interesting cookbook (in German only) detailing local specialties.
