Grüner Veltliner
White wine

wo single plots of Grüner Veltliner from a brilliant vintage culminate in a multidimensional experience on the palate. Following the idea of single vineyards, we caught the opportunity to take a look at the microcosmos of both Veltliner-vineyards, that long created this wine, in two separate barrels: Through straight forward calcareous sharpness the juice of the one showed the fascinating and complex layers of the lacustrine limestone soil profile of this old vineyard, while the second, cultivated in double plant system on a steep schist soil slope, presented itself exotic, voluptuous and hedonistically animating on the palate. The temptation to bottle such wines separately is huge, but combined the two seem to expand their aromatic dimension many times over, adding layers and length on the palate. The calculation clearly goes 1+1=3
