About the wine: The unique geological and geographical conditions in the Penon district at an altitude of 600 metres are the reason and the prerequisite for producing an
unmistakable top sparkling wine with a pronounced regional character. 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.

'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.
