Tasting notes
From old-vine genetics predominantly from the Weinviertel planted in 1997, the 2020 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein offers a deep, pure, refined, fresh and coolish bouquet of ripe but precise and elegant ripe pear aromas. Full-bodied, intense and juicy on the palate, with crystalline, mineral acidity and lingering salinity, this is a wide, pure and complex, salivating and finely tannic Veltliner with a long and aromatic but also terroir-driven finish. Everything is perfectly interwoven and seamless here. 13% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.

An extremely subtle gruner veltliner with so much herbal complexity and mountain freshness. Ripe and racy, with so much mineral energy. Very long and precise finish that's neatly supported by the very fine tannins. From a high-altitude vineyard planted in 1979 with more than 100 clones. Drink or hold.
