Tasting notes
The 2021 Ried Renner 1ÖTW is pure, fine and mineral on the nose that also displays a ripe, yellow stone fruit aroma as if this Grüner Veltliner had been kissed by Riesling. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a lush, intense, slightly creamy-textured Renner Veltliner with substance, intensity and fine tannin grip. It has very good and aromatic length. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg, September 2023.

The 2021 Grüner Veltliner Ried Renner, picked in a site of alluvial deposits mixed with loess, opens with a tone of honey, denoting an extra year of age. The palate, however, is fluid freshness, scented around the edges with gentle pepper alongside softer notions of chervil, yarrow. The yeasty aspect on the mid-palate is bright, light and lemony. This is a picture of freshness and harmony, where ripe stone fruit makes another appearance just before the smooth, serene finish—a picture of equanimity and understated harmony, with a lemon aftertaste. (Bone-dry)
Calcareous, sandy silt formed from underlying loess, alluvial deposits and fragments of crystalline rock. At 210–251 m elevation. Certified integrated production (IP) and sustainable (Nachaltig Austria). Cool, stony and – after the weight and intensity of Ried Lamm – I'm really grooving on the feather-light sleekness of Renner. It is, quite literally living up to its name (racer). Deep baking spice, citrus fruit, country lemon. Intense spice with a transparent and filigreed beauty. Seriously structured and a not-kidding-around mouthful of wine. Made for the long haul. And for those who like their wine to start with a capital 'W'. (PS)
