Grüner Veltliner Langenloiser

From vineyards in the village of Langenlois, this Grüner Veltliner is from vines 20-50 years, and a mix of loess, sandy clays, and gneiss on mostly terraced vineyards. This was whole cluster pressed with partial maceration before a native ferment in primarily stainless, with 30% seeing time in used large oak barrels. Post ferment, this rested in stainless on fine lees for 5 months. Tight lemongrass, lemon verbena rule this streamlined white, with a light white honey sheen over river stones. This trails long with crystalline lemon and light salinity. Great energy here.

"Striking nose of caramelized pineapple, with white and pink pepper. Quite some tension on the medium-bodied palate between the fine tannins and the restrained fruit. Long, emphatically dry finish with dried herb complexity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” - 92 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, October 11, 2023.
