Tasting notes
The 2022 Loibner Ried Steinertal Grüner Veltliner is very clear and precise on the deep, complex, stony and well-concentrated nose that reveals iodine and lemony notes of white fruits. Round and lush on the palate, this is a charming Grüner Veltliner with fine and rather smooth acidity but a serious mineral backbone that takes this full-bodied and refined wine to an intense and aromatic yet also saline/mineral finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in April 2024.

Incredible herbal freshness in the nose with notes ranging from sage to tarragon plus a hint of ferns and moss after rain. Extraordinary precision and purity on the medium-bodied palate. Great wet stone purity and racy tension at the super-long finish that must be experienced to be believed. It’s miraculous that a gruner veltliner with just 12.5% alcohol can have this concentration and brilliance. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.
