Singing Gruner Veltliner

Fermentation in stainless steel begins promptly and is completed at approx. 17°C or 62°F. Extended maturation on the lees will result in an elegant wine with longevity and fresh, lively and bright acidity.

The grapes for this Veltliner are grown mainly in loess and gravel soils of the Kremstalregion. Their distinctive fruitiness is owed to marked alternating temperatures of the north-south positioned Kremstal: warm air rising from the Danube valley is met by cool air flowing down from the nearby Waldviertel region and along the Krems river. While this warmth influences ripeness and concentrated aromas, the coolness lends strongly to the fresh fruitiness. Thanks to the adding of some Veltliner grapes from the Weinviertel, the wine takes on a light fizzy character.

A very attractive fruit bouquet yields apple, peach and citrus aromas along with a typical Veltliner spiciness and a touch of white pepper. The soft and juicy palate is supported by fine acidity. It sings on the palate!
