Kraftmiklir grænir vettlingar. Vottur af eik eykur ánægjuna og flækir frekar flókinn ilm af alls konar ávöxtum - mismunandi framandi.

Location and single-vineyard description:

A kettle-shaped vineyard located between Heiligenstein and Gaisberg,
sheltered from three sides and open to the southwest. 20,000 years
ago, this protected site served mammoth and reindeer hunters as a
welcoming habitat. The calcareous soil is composed of loess with the
consistency of loamy-sandy silt, with locally embedded veins of gravel
and slack coal – thus an ideal terroir for fine Grüner Veltliner.

Vinification:

Maceration, fermentation and maturation took place in large and
small oak barrels. It rested for 6 months on its leavenings before
being bottled in August.

Weinanalyse: 13.5 % vol. alcohol, 5.8 ‰ acidity, 2.5 g/l residual sugar

Tasting notes:

Inviting bouquet of yellow apples, candid oranges, honey & melon.
Elegant and complex on the pallet. Dense, long finish with hints of
pineapple and playful mineral notes. Multy layered food companion
with many years of aging potential.
