A reductive hint appears at first, then comes an attractive fleshy expression. Surprisingly round with notes of pomaceous fruit, especially old apple varieties; also some black pepper. Shows a nice gentle flow.

The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from “Loiserberg” grows on a south to southeast facing slope, which is less exposed to the winds. The soil stems from primary rock geologically defined as zoisite-amphibolite, which is decomposing granite consisting of gneiss, mica-schist, and some clay and loess.

It was only during the last week of August that a sunny, stable weather period began, allowing for a wonderful development of ripeness. A very sunny and warm September was followed in early October by a...

Maturation
