Lower AustriaGrüner Veltliner Alte Reben 2023

A profound and seemingly ‘dark’ aroma of yellow fruits; ripe apples, melons, a bit of grapefruit and fresh herbs. Authoritative on the palate and full-bodied, with a prominent core of sweet fruit, luxuriant with a delicate hint of tobacco. Rounded but very fresh from the acid interplay.

The warm soil and the low yields produce ripe grape material that is harvested at the end of October in a state of high Auslese ripeness. The grapes undergo stringent triage in the vineyard, then are harvested by hand into small bins (20kg capacity). After a brief interval of settling, the must ferments spontaneously in used oak casks without temperature control.

An all-rounder on the table! Braised and baked dishes, light meat, fowl and hard cheeses
