This is a very rich and creamy gruner veltliner, but you don’t feel the 14% until the very end, when a touch of bitterness exposes the alcohol a bit. Very ripe pear fruit, plus some candied orange and a hint of white-pepper character. Drink or hold. Screw cap. ... More details

Winery
Geppling (formerly Gebling) is widely regarded as one of the best vineyards in the Kremstal region. It is planted on a steep, terraced hillside at 850 feet above sea level facing directly south. The soil there is conglomerate and the vines are forty-three years old, producing low yields of very high quality fruit. Distinctive east-west oriented ridge with south- and southwest-facing vineyard-terraces. The ridge consists of conglomerate from the Hollenburg-Karlstetten Formation, protruding through massive loess deposits that are in turn covered by younger gravels from an old watercourse of the Danube River. The soils are calcareous, sandy and contain abundant gravels. In the lower parts of the southern slope the vineyard had calcareous, silty soils derived from loess.

Varietal: Gruner Veltliner

Gruner Veltliner is a pale skinned white wine grape varietal most closely associated with central European countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In recent years, it has spread somewhat to several New World countries, where it is becoming gradually more popular and regularly seen in wine stores. One of the main attractions of this grape varietal for winemakers is the fact that it is highly versatile, and can be used for the production of several different wine styles, including young, dry white wines, excellent sparkling wines, and it is also a grape varietal which is well suited for aging Gruner Veltliner has the ability to express much of its terroir, and the best examples are generally those which are full of delightfully mineral-rich flavors alongside the more usual notes of citrus fruits and peach.

Country: Austria

Archaeological evidence suggests that grapevines have been grown and cultivated in what is today modern Austria for over four thousand years, making it one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world. Over the centuries, relatively little has changed in Austrian wine, with the dominant grape varietals continuing to be Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and others. Austria is renowned for producing excellent and characterful dry white wines, although in the eastern part of the country, many wineries specialist in sweeter white wines made in a similar style to those of neighboring Hungary. Today, Austria has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, split over four key wine regions. The domestic wine industry remains strong, with Austrians drinking their local produce outside in the summer, and people around the world are beginning to once more rediscover this fascinating and ancient wine culture.
