Schödl - Grün Grün Grüner, Grüner Veltliner, Loidesthal, Wienviertel, Austria (2022)

TASTING NOTES

A slight period of skin maceration creates a really lovely, phenolic & fleshy Grüner with a steely core. Characteristic white peppercorns, lime, green herbs and plenty of acidity. A really vibrant wine!

Deep Loess soils and chalky clay soil are the base for our Grüner Veltliner. With the slopes and the plateaus on our gentle hills we get receive perfect balance between ripeness and acidity for this natural Grüner Veltliner. In the nose you get notes from crushed apples and pears with herbal nuances. On the palate there is a lot of spiciness, structure and a refreshing mineralic acidity. For us this is natural born beauty of Grüner Veltliner.

Ripe and healthy grapes were harvested in the middle of October. After crushing the grapes, they had skin contact for 24 hours to extract flavor & structure from the skins. Followed by gentle pressing, the juice went through fermentation with natural yeasts in big oak casks. After lees contact and maturing for 10 month in the barrel the wine went to bottle without any filtration and fining with just a minimal amount of sulphites.
