Award winning organic wines

Steigler Cellar is one of the exhibitors of the event, their stunning Zöldveltelini (Grüner Veltliner) is unmissable. Last year it was selected the Best Grüner Veltliner at Winelovers Wine Awards.
Organic farming, Guyot training system, yield: 8000 kg/ha. Fermentation in stainless steel tank at low temperature, ageing in stainless steel tank on fine lees for 6 months. “A lighter, more easy going Zöldveltelini (Grüner Veltliner) with vivid greenish yellow colour and amazingly fresh nose – mainly with grapefruit, lime and fresh green herbs. The crispy acidity and the subtle carbon dioxide makes the wine even more refreshing and zesty.”
The winery also makes amazing an amazing Furmint, which is a rarity in Sopron wine region. And their Kékfrankos is a must-taste, no question.
