SIGNUM BLANC: the Gemstone Wine
SIGNUM BLANC is the Premium Brand of Weingut Rothschädl, South Styria, Austria and also the signature project of 4 friends: the vintners Thomas and Toni Rothschädl as well as the wine enthusiasts Christine Büchl and Martin Oertel.
The soil where Signum Blanc grows bears more than just vines – black Tourmaline slumbers within, a gem of rare structure. It lends the wine a quiet tension, a crystalline clarity. You can’t taste it directly. And yet the tourmaline is there – in the fine and complex elegance on the palate.
SIGNUM BLANC wines are created in peace. Old vines growing on steep slopes dotted with tourmaline, the most careful and late hand-harvesting of the grapes, and long aging periods in the cellar characterize this parcel wine.
A Rarity with soul. Decidedly different.
The fermentation of the wines takes place spontaneously and without additives. The winemaker, Thomas Rothschädl, seeks his own, not the expected. The wines are aged in wood and stainless steel, with patience as his most important tool. It is accompanied by a winemaker who senses more than intervenes.
SIGNUM BLANC is rare – not made for the masses, but grown out of conviction. It is the result of many small decisions. It is driven by an uncompromising standard. Depending on the vintage, only 2,500 bottles are produced per year and per grape variety. Packaged in handcrafted, high-quality wooden boxes.
Due to the tourmaline-rich terroir, Signum Blanc has decades of aging potential.
SIGNUM BLANC – not a wine for every day. The wine for the moment when the universe kisses you.
Four grape varieties are cultivated: Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon (Chardonnay), Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.
