Wine Description
This Grüner Veltliner grows on our Riede Am Berg – Schrattenthal on about 300m sea level. The soil is mica schist with parts of loam and clay.
The Grüner Veltliner 68 was harvested by hand like all of our wines and the fermentation started on its own, spontaneously. Subsequently the wine was filled in a big used wooden barrell made of acacia where it remained 68 month on the yeast.
The result is a great Veltliner, full-bodied and spicey with nice integrated residual sweetness. It goes superbly with pate.
