What makes the best wine for us? This crucial question was posed to the two wine enthusiasts Johannes Trapl and Christian Klingler when they set out a few years ago to enrich the wine scene with a distinctive, exclusive red wine from the Spitzerberg in Carnuntum. The \"PUR Platinum\" was thus created in strictly limited quantities.<\/p>\n
Its concept is as coherent as it is sophisticated: Burgundy finesse<\/strong><\/p>\nThe fruit presents itself rather red berry, but plays a subordinate role in the nose and on the palate. The rich extract, obtained from ripe grapes, gives the wine its delicate subtle sweetness, on the palate the wine is elegant and complex. Peter Moser<\/strong>, wine critic of Falstaff Magazine, the leading wine medium in the German language, has been following the development of \"PUR Platinum\" since its premiere with the 2012 vintage.<\/p>\n \"What emerges here is an immensely subtle red wine that does not try to win through power, wood or overripe aromas, but a wine with real depth that impresses with quiet tones, fresh structure and immense complexity, otherwise only known from Burgundy or the best wines in the northern Rh\u00f4ne Valley. The aging potential of this new wine icon from the Spitzerberg can only be guessed at today.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n All PUR wines - no matter what category they belong to - claim to always be among the best. Those that are allowed to bear the designation PUR PLATIN are strictly limited unique specimens, which are created exclusively from the best grapes of the respective varieties from great vintages. They are complex and rich in nuances, know how to fascinate the knowledgeable connoisseur and have a maturity potential that extends far beyond the usual.<\/p>\n The name PUR GOLD promises the wine lover a very special drinking pleasure, these wines combine elegance, depth and maturity potential, which makes them even in younger years to multi-faceted food companions. PUR GOLD is the companion for special moments and turns exquisite dishes into a culinary work of art.<\/p>\n Wines with the name PUR SILVER are the entry into the world of PUR wines, which have ranked among the highest award-winning white and red wines in Austria from the very beginning. PUR SILVER can already be enjoyed young and fresh to the fullest, thanking a few years of bottle ripening with additional aromatic diversity.<\/p>\n The passionate quest for the best What makes the best wine for us?

\nWell-dosed fine wood underlines the texture of the silky, ripe tannins. A mineral-salty, very lively structure stands for enormous drinking flow in every maturity phase of the wine.
\nThe result is the red PUR Platin from Carnuntum: long-lasting and at the same time profound, with a long finish and enormous ageing potential.\n\n\t\tTrue Character\n\t<\/h2>\n\tOnly wines that tell a story endure among the many of the best. In most cases, the winemakers are their storytellers, the world-famous winemakers. PUR Platin, on the other hand, is determined by the Spitzerberg. The Genius Loci is an entirely individual atmospheric quality of a specific place, as Alexander Pope defined it. Our goal is to make this comprehensible in every sip of PUR Platin.
\nThe organic and biodynamic principles apply. Therefore, we only intervene where it is absolutely necessary. The choice of harvest time, the selection of the grapes in question, the length of the maceration period. The selection of the very best barrels. The day of bottling. When the PUR Platinum finally begins to tell its story, it needs no translator. It touches the heart and mind, it communicates on a level that needs no language.\n\n\t\tInitial response\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

\nWACHAU - Rossatz\n\tTERROIR:
\nReed Rossatz MUGLER\nNAME:
\nThe name of the vineyard \"Im Mugler\" owes its name to the wooded hill called Mugler, which rises up to 515 meters in the south of the village center of Rossatz and under which this vineyard spreads on about 14.10 hectares. The term Mugel for a small hill, originating from the Bavarian, probably comes from the Old Slavic.\nGEOLOGY:
\nOn a subsoil of amphibolite lies the weathering material paragneiss and migmatite, in the upper area adjacent to the Dunkelsteiner Wald the humus layer is very thin, here the lime content is lower and the soils lighter. Further down, the soil becomes somewhat fatter, here loess components are added, which are intermixed with varying proportions of paragneiss material. While the poorer, stonier soils provide ideal conditions for the Riesling grape variety, the Gr\u00fcner Veltliner feels very much at home on the more nutrient-rich terroirs of the Mugler.\nEXPOSURE:
\nThe steep Mugler has a slope of up to 55%, so most of the vineyards are structured by means of slope terraces. Between an altitude of 313 meters above sea level down to 225 meters at the foot of the slope, the grapes ripen here. With an orientation towards the northeast to the east, an annual average of 2188 hours of sunshine is measured here. The Ried D\u00fcrnsteiner Kellerberg, which lies directly opposite the Danube in an easterly direction, records 2017 hours of sunshine, while the Ried Sch\u00fctt, as a purely southerly site, records 2184 hours of sunshine per year. Like these well-known sites on the left bank of the Danube, Ried Mugler still benefits from the warm foothills of the Pannonian climate, which acts precisely up to the D\u00fcrnsteiner Pforte, where the course of the river turns briefly towards the north. Cool air flowing from the high Dunkelsteiner forest in the summer evenings through small ditches in the terrain towards the Danube valley, also ensure a pronounced temperature difference between day and night, which has a very positive effect on aromatic development of the grapes.\nMUGLER PUR:
\nWith a share of almost 5 hectares, the Home of PUR winery was able to acquire more than a third of this outstanding Ried in 2014, the vineyards are planted with Gr\u00fcner Veltliner and Riesling in a ratio of 70:30. 1.5 hectares were cleared and replanted. Part of the vineyard is up to 40 years old. In accordance with the quality philosophy of Home of PUR, the vines in Ried Mugler are cultivated according to the principles of environmentally friendly viticulture, and the certification process is underway.\n\n\t\tRed wine\n\t<\/h2>\n\tfrom Blaufr\u00e4nkisch & Co
\nSPITZERBERG - Prellenkirchen\n\tTERROIR:
\nRied Blauenstein, Ried Obere Panh\u00f6lzer, Ried Neuried\nNAME:
\nThe name of the vineyard \"Spitzerberg\" refers to the entire south-facing vineyard on this ridge, which is located in the east of the Carnuntum wine-growing region as a foothill of the Hundsheim Mountains to the south, forming a solitary west-east oriented ridge in the terrain. The origin of the name of the reed lies in the dark, because the Spitzerberg, whose highest elevation is 302 meters, does not have a mountain top. The total possible area is 145 hectares, which from west to east fractionate the Spitzerberg into several subriedens of the Spitzerberg: These are called Spitzer, Roterd, Blauensteiner, Pannh\u00f6lzer, Tullner, Kranzen, Kobeln, Holzweingarten and Goldberg. Currently, about 100 hectares are planted with vines on the Spitzerberg.\nGEOLOGY:
\nAs a foothill of the Small Carpathians, the core and ridge of the Spitzerberg are composed of carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) of the Mesozoic. On the terraced southern slope there are mainly sandy but also silty-clay sediments of the Miocene (Pannonian). The terracing has changed both the shape of the terrain and the sediments. The respective upper sections are steep and show the sediments in fresh condition, light and calcareous. In the lower part, towards the next terrace level, the terrain becomes flatter due to the accumulation of washed away sediments and humus material. Here, the coloration of the soil is darker, the soil type is finer-grained, and the lime content is low to nonexistent.\nEXPOSURE:
\nSince the Spitzerberg stretches from west to east, the majority of the vineyards face exactly south or southwest and are located at an altitude between 180 and 245 meters above sea level. The solitary position of the Spitzerberg in the middle of the gateway between the Alps and the Carpathians makes for extreme weather conditions: constant thermal updrafts that dry off any moisture in no time at all and strong air currents from the southeast that give Atlantic rainstorms hardly a chance. The barren soil structure and the much lower rainfall than in the other two wine-growing areas of Carnuntum make the Hundsheimer Berge the \"latest\" zone in wine-growing Carnuntum.\nSPITZERBERG PURE:
\nThe Home of PUR winery has a vineyard area of 3.2 hectares on the Spitzerberg, these are located more in the central area of the vineyard in the fractions Blauenstein and Obere Panh\u00f6lzer, as well as in the Subried Neuried, located slightly higher on the mountain. These vineyards have been managed in an environmentally friendly way for some time to meet the uncompromising search for excellence in wine.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
