Philipp still remembers clearly: it was March 1993, and he was with his father Günter in the estate's tasting room. Swirling a Morstein 1992 in slender, avant-garde Riedl glasses, they searched for the right words to something that defied description. Something that was present not just in the ‘92, but also in grand older bottles in the library. “Crystal clear fruit” and “glacier water” were the closest Philipp could manage.
Philipp had known even as a boy that he would take over the estate someday, but something changed in that moment, as if a switch had been flipped. What he finally understood: we make something here that can be really, really good. Unique. World class. Morstein, certainly, but the other sites as well.
