Aeon is an Ancient Greek word meaning “eternity.” For Alex and Maria Koppitsch, it represents “land, earth, soil” — the constant, unchanging element within the otherwise fluid concept of terroir.
In the case of Aeon, that foundation is a silty clay soil with a relatively high proportion of sand, a characteristic owed to the vineyard’s proximity to Lake Neusiedl. Rooted in these soils are around 50-year-old Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Blanc vines, which Alex and Maria have been farming organically for the past 15 years.
Beyond the soils, the local climate also plays a significant role in shaping the grapes. Near the lake, conditions are hot, dry, and often windy, typically resulting in fully ripe and highly aromatic fruit.
The grapes are fermented spontaneously, without any intervention before, during, or after fermentation, in used barriques, where the wine also matures.
