Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Late Release 2017 Magnum
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gruner Veltliner from the Im Weingebirge vineyard in Wachau, Austria.
Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge”, Wine Mountains, dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope
Taste Profile: The wine opens with intense and aromatic on the nose that is deep, precise and focused and reveals perfectly ripe and intense fruit. Round and lush on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, salty-piquant and mineral structured Federspiel with substance, grip and a sustainable finish
Winemaking Process: The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving it a creamy texture to match the fruit and Grüner spice. The late release is bottle after an extended ageing period in the barrels
