The deep calcareous soils here are based on thick loess with a balanced mineral composition. Thin layers of gravellys stone in some places as well as old soil formations indicate that the loess was structured according to different climatic phases. This results in powerful, yet elegant Grüner Veltliners, that balance rounded intensity, fine fruit and a nutty spiciness.
Vintage 2021 The Wine Advocate - R. Parker 09/22: 92 points Intensely golden-yellow in color, this offers a clear, very intense and still yeasty but also spicy bouquet of ripe and concentrated yellow fruits. Round and lush on the palate, this is an intense and elegant, rather creamy-textured Grüner Veltliner from pure loess soils. The wine finishes with lush and ripe, aromatic fruit and reveals fine, saline acidity. (S.Reinhardt)
Vintage 2020 8WINES: 92 points The wine has a medium golden color with silver reflections. The nose is an elegant mix of ripe apple and pear, dried apricot, hints of tropical fruit, hay, herbal spices, and chalky minerals. All this is well distributed on a slightly creamy palate with good fruity juiciness. A perfect balance between acidity and body, with a pleasant tropical finish, completes the tasting.
