Junge Löwen is ruby red in colour, with aromas of raspberry, black pepper, and violets. This medium-bodied wine has a lovely vibrancy, smooth tannins and an elegant finish.

The fruit for the Junge Löwen was sourced from the `Ruster` vineyard, which lies on the top of the Rust Hill surrounding Lake Neusiedl, facing eastwards. The soil is sandy loam with mica schist and gneiss. Sustainable viticulture practices are followed, without the use of herbicides or insecticides and the growth of local plants as cover crops is encouraged.

Heidi Schröck has pioneered the role of women in the Austrian wine scene. Voted ‘Vintner of the Year’ by food and wine magazine Falstaff, Heidi also led an organisation dedicated to promoting female winemakers. As a result of her work, the number of women working in the Austrian wine industry has increased considerably.
