Starting with the 2017 vintage, Wachter-Wiesler began bottling two village-level wines, offering a middle ground between the Bela-Joska which gives a good idea of Eisenberg region and the show-stopping single-vineyard wines. The Eisenberg comes from three sites on the famous Eisenberg hill:...

A combination of second press juice from all of the white wine holdings covering the entire four hectares.
