Stift Gœttweig Ried Gottschelle Gruner Veltliner 2021
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gruner Veltliner from Kremstal, Austria. Climatic conditions similar to the Wachau, if only slightly warmer, the Kremstal benefits from the easterly warm winds of the Pannonian basin and cool, humid breezes from the Waldviertal forest to the north
Vineyards near the river are generally clayey with a limestone mix. The vines here are between 50 and 70 years old, and yield highly concentrated wines with great cellaring potential
Taste Profile: Light yellow green with silver reflections. Expect notes of fine tropical fruit notes, a touch of pineapple, fine herbal savouriness, and delicate tangerine zest. Juicy palate of white apple fruit, fine acid structure, a hint of pear, mineral salty in the aftertaste, and exotic fruit in the aftertaste
Winemaking Process: After the hand harvest, the grapes immediately reach the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by ageing on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled
