Lower AustriaGrüner Veltliner Ried Bürsting 2023

Ried Bürsting is one of our very finest Veltliners, thanks to the enormous potential of the site, a wine impressive for its spiciness and complexity. Concentrated and juicy with a fine overlay of spices, GV Bürsting needs a great deal of air to coax out all of its facets.

The warm soil and the low yields produce ripe grape material that is harvested in October in a state of high Spätlese ripeness. The grapes undergo stringent triage in the vineyard, then are harvested by hand into small bins (20kg capacity). The must enjoys twenty-four hours maceration on the skins to underscore the vineyard site, only briefly settled before fermenting spontaneously in used 500-litre oak casks and small stainless steel tanks.

Fowl, sweetbreads, baked dishes, smoked eel or trout, robust hard cheeses
