Wine Description
We like to try new things. Even when it sounds – and is – crazy. The “classic” Wagram Veltliner
is of course a benchmark, but we want to see what else the “Grüner” can do. With the “Green Archer”
we aged it for a longer period in a very old barrel and watched what would happen. The result:
a completely original and exciting individual with caramel-like spice and lots of juicy, yellow
fruit yet an extremely linear and refreshing palate which downright sings with drinkability and
length.
The label, by the way, shows our passion for Marvel comics, with each wine being a once-off,
a truly unique specimen. The Green Archer is our Volume 1 of these special bottlings which do not
put the vintage in the foreground since this wine is only a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Clear, aromatic and with piquant favours in the nose. Also with recognizable essences of stone fruits. On the palate a calm mineral ripeness and a full-bodied long finish.
