Our Tasting Note
A fresh style of Gruner, with mineral and saline notes that mesh with citrus fruit and zest.  The nose in fact is very zesty and mineral, very pure and med+ in intensity. The palate reflects the aromas with a med+ intensity and finish.

The striking nose of pink grapefruit and Amalfi lemon leads you into this juicy, barely medium-bodied gruner veltliner which has so much herbal and snow pea character on the crisp palate. Lovely Amalfi lemon freshness at the zesty and mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is harvested slightly later than Zwickl/Hefeabzug, from vines that are on average 40 years old. Subtle yeast and sun-warmed hay on the nose lead into a very smooth, serene palate. Medium in body, the mid-palate is dense and buffered, with a pithy notion of lemon. Part of this was made in large-format wood. A salty streak teases on the mid-palate and finish. (Bone-dry)

Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge” dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving it a creamy texture.
