Tiefenbrunner

Feldmarschall von Fenner

Feldmarschall is a special wine. The vineyards sit on the high plateau of Fennberg, protected from the northerly winds and ripened in a unique microclimate. At an elevation of 3,300 feet above sea level, these are among the highest vineyards in Europe. The wine is named after Franz Philipp Freiherr von Fenner zu Fennberg, founder of the Austrian Kaiserjäger (soldiers of the Austrian emperor), who once used this picturesque Hofstatt as a summer residence.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw-lemon in color, Feldmarschall offers intense aromas of ripe peaches, crisp green apples and jasmine tea. On the palate, this elegant wine boasts a rich profile and bright acidity which gives it incredible finesse.

Food Pairing

Extremely elegant and refined, Feldmarschall is a wonderful companion to all sorts of appetizers, from bacon-wrapped grilled shrimp to layered couscous dishes, roast veal or stuffed cornish game hens.
